What does the acronym NTSB stand for?

• A. National Aviation Safety Board
• B. National Transportation Safety Board
• C. National Transport Safety Board
• D. National Transportation Safety Bureau

Answer: (B)

You're being asked to identify what NTSB stands for. The official name is National Transportation Safety Board, a U.S. federal agency that investigates civil transportation accidents and issues safety recommendations to prevent repeats. The term “Transportation” reflects a broad scope across all modes—aviation, rail, highway, maritime, and pipelines—so this is the accurate expansion. The other options don’t fit: one would limit the scope to aviation, another uses a nonstandard term (Transport instead of Transportation), and another uses Bureau instead of Board.
