Phonetic alphabet codes refer to which system?

• A. System of digital codes using numbers
• B. System of verbal communication using the letters of the alphabet only
• C. System of signals using flag codes
• D. System of color-coded signals

Answer: (B)

Phonetic alphabet codes are a verbal spelling system used to spell out letters clearly over voice channels. Each letter has a distinct code word (A as Alpha, B as Bravo, C as Charlie, and so on). This makes it easier to understand what’s being said when there’s noise, distance, or static, preventing misinterpretation of similar-sounding letters. It’s not a system of digital numeric codes, flag-based signals, or color-coded signals—the purpose is to use spoken words to represent letters.
