Which organization is described as the International Organization for Standardization?

• A. the International Organization for Standardization.
• B. American National Standards Institute.
• C. ASIS Global Standard Initiative.
• D. PDCA cycle.

Answer: (A)

The concept here is recognizing the global standard-setting body and what it’s called internationally. The organization known worldwide for developing and publishing International Standards is literally named the International Organization for Standardization, which is why that choice is the best match. The acronym ISO is the familiar shorthand used globally, and while it reflects the same organization, the English name explicitly describes it as the International Organization for Standardization.

The other options point to a national standards body (the American National Standards Institute), a nonstandard initiative, and a process model (PDCA cycle) rather than an international organization, so they don’t fit as the description of the International Organization for Standardization.
