What does NHTSA stand for?

• A. National Health Transport Safety Agency
• B. National Highway Transportation Safety Agency
• C. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
• D. National Highway Safety and Transportation Administration

Answer: (C)

The focus here is knowing the official name of the agency abbreviated as NHTSA. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is the U.S. federal agency within the Department of Transportation that concentrates on road vehicle safety. The title itself reflects its mission: highway and traffic safety across the nation, with administration of standards, recalls, and safety programs. The other options swap or add terms like Health or Transportation or omit “Traffic,” which do not match the agency’s actual name. In practice, NHTSA handles vehicle safety standards, recall campaigns, and crash testing and ratings that help protect motorists and inform consumers.
