What is NORAD?

  1. North American Aerospace Defence Command

  2. Northern Oceanic and Atmospheric Department

  3. Naval Oceanographic and Aeronautic Division

  4. North Atlantic Department of Defense

The correct answer is: North American Aerospace Defence Command

NORAD stands for North American Aerospace Defense Command. This military organization is responsible for monitoring and protecting the airspace of Canada and the United States. It was created during the Cold War to detect and respond to potential air threats to North America. The other options, while some may contain similar words, do not accurately describe the purpose or scope of NORAD. B and D refer to oceanic and defense departments, while C mentions naval and aeronautic divisions. Only option A includes "aerospace defense," which is a key component of NORAD's mission.
