ANSI stands for which organization?

ANSI stands for which organization?

• A. American National Science Institute
• B. American National Standards Institute
• C. Applied National Standards Institute
• D. Alliance of National Standards Institutions

Answer: (B)

This question tests recall of the exact name behind the acronym ANSI. The American National Standards Institute is the U.S. private non-profit that coordinates the development of voluntary consensus standards and represents the United States in international standardization bodies like ISO and IEC. The key cue is “Standards” and “Institute” in the name—it's about standardization, not science or alliances. The other options mix up terms (Science, Applied, Alliance) that don’t match the official organization.
