NTSB stands for which organization?

• A. National Transportation Safety Board
• B. National Transit Safety Bureau
• C. National Technology Safety Board
• D. Nuclear Transportation Safety Bureau

Answer: (A)

The key idea is mapping each letter of the acronym to the real words in the agency’s full name. NTSB stands for National Transportation Safety Board because each letter corresponds to a specific word in that official title: National, Transportation, Safety, Board. This matches the organization that investigates major transportation accidents in the United States and provides safety recommendations.

The other options don’t fit because they change one or more of those core words: Transit instead of Transportation, Bureau instead of Board, Technology instead of Transportation, or Nuclear Transportation Safety Bureau introduces Nuclear and uses Bureau rather than Board. These substitutions break the established name, so they aren’t correct.
