CDC stands for what organization?

• A. Center for Disease Control
• B. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• C. Center for Disease Monitoring
• D. Center for Disease Care

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing the official name behind the acronym. The organization is properly named Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is why the abbreviation CDC stands for that full title. The plural Centers signals that it’s made up of multiple centers, and Prevention reflects its focus on preventing disease, not just reacting to it. The other phrasings don’t fit because they either use a singular Center or replace Prevention with a different word (like Monitoring or Care), which changes the official name and mission.
