Which acronym NTSC expansion?

Which acronym NTSC expansion?

• A. National Television Standards Committee
• B. National Television System Committee
• C. National Television Systems Committee
• D. National Telecom Standards Council

Answer: (C)

NTSC tests your recall of the exact words in the organization name behind the U.S. analog television standards. The correct expansion is National Television Systems Committee. The plural “Systems” signals that the group addressed multiple parts of the television transmission system—how images are scanned, encoded, transmitted, and displayed—rather than a single component. The word “Committee” at the end identifies the group that created and agreed on those standards. Historically, this FCC-created body set the standard for black‑and‑white and later color TV in North America. The other options don’t fit because they misstate either a key word or the overall concept: using “Standards” instead of “Systems” changes the focus to just standards rather than the whole system; using “System” in singular implies a single system rather than a committee for multiple subsystems; and a non-TV term like “Telecom” or a different form like “Council” isn’t the historically correct name of the body.
