Which acronym maps to 'Prime Contractor Construction Quality Controller'?

• A. PC
• B. QC
• C. PC CQC
• D. QA

Answer: (C)

Acronyms should mirror the components of a term as precisely as possible, especially when the phrase includes more than one role. For Prime Contractor Construction Quality Controller, you map each part: Prime Contractor becomes PC, and Construction Quality Controller becomes CQC. Putting them together as PC CQC captures both elements—the prime contractor and the construction quality controller—so it directly represents the full phrase.

Using just PC would miss the Construction Quality Controller part, and using just QC would miss Prime Contractor. QA stands for Quality Assurance, which denotes a different function than the specified Construction Quality Controller, so it doesn’t fit.
