What is the CDC commonly abbreviated as?

• A. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
• B. Centers for Disease Control in Medicine
• C. Center for Disease Control and Public Health
• D. Centers for Dental Care

Answer: (A)

CDC stands for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States’ national public health agency. The name reflects its mission to monitor, control, and prevent disease and to protect population health. The plural “Centers” and the word “Prevention” are key parts of the official title, so the option that matches these terms is the correct one. The other options change parts of the name—using a singular Center, replacing Prevention with Medicine, or focusing on Dental Care—so they don’t fit the actual acronym.
