Which letter does the code word X-ray represent?

Which letter does the code word X-ray represent?

• A. Y
• B. Z
• C. W
• D. X

Answer: (D)

In the radio alphabet, each letter has a distinct code word to prevent miscommunication. X-ray is the code word assigned to the letter X, so hearing X-ray signals the letter X. The other code words listed correspond to different letters (for example, Yankee for Y, Zulu for Z, Whiskey for W), so they don’t represent X.
