What is NATO?

  1. North American Free Trade Agreement

  2. North Atlantic Treaty Organization

  3. Northern Allied Trade Organization

  4. National Association of Trade Operations

The correct answer is: North Atlantic Treaty Organization

NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is an intergovernmental military alliance between 30 European and North American countries. Therefore, A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the purpose or members of NATO. Option A refers to a trade agreement, while option C and D do not include the term "Atlantic" or "Treaty" which are key components of NATO's name and function.
