CDC stands for which organization?

• A. Canadian Department of Cancer
• B. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• C. Clinical Data Council
• D. Community Development Center

Answer: (B)

CDC stands for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a major United States federal public health agency. Its main role is protecting public health by preventing and controlling diseases, tracking outbreaks, and providing guidance on vaccination, disease surveillance, and prevention measures. The other names don’t match the well-known acronym because they refer to different organizations or don’t exist, so they wouldn’t be correct expansions of CDC. In public health contexts, the CDC is the go-to source for information on how diseases spread and how to prevent them.
