CDC stands for which organization?

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

Answer: (D)

The idea behind this question is knowing the official full name that the acronym represents. The correct expansion is Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It uses Centers (plural) for Disease Control and Prevention, in that exact order, with Prevention as the last word. The other options mix singular versus plural or omit the final word, so they don’t match the agency’s official title. This name is the U.S. federal agency under the Department of Health and Human Services focused on protecting public health and preventing disease.
