NTSC stands for which of the following?

• A. National Television Systems Committee
• B. National Television Standards Committee
• C. National Telecommunication Standards Council
• D. New Technology Standards Committee

Answer: (A)

NTSC stands for National Television Systems Committee. This name shows it was a committee formed to establish the complete system of television transmission standards—the way the signal is organized, scanned, and color-encoded—rather than just a single guideline. The word “Systems” signals a cohesive package of specifications. The other options mix up the wording—Standards, Council, or Telecommunication rather than Television—so they don’t match the actual name of the body that defined the old analog TV standard used in the US and many parts of the Americas before digital formats like ATSC.
