✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is part of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and is responsible for U.S. coastal charting • Eliminate any agency whose primary role is military intelligence or satellite imagery, not routine civilian navigation charts • Eliminate any agency known mainly for timekeeping/astronomy or law enforcement/search and rescue, rather than publishing charts and Coast Pilots
