Which code is used to acknowledge receipt of a transmission?

• A. Acknowledgement
• B. Busy; Stand by Unless Urgent
• C. In Service
• D. Relay

Answer: (A)

When a message is sent, you need to confirm that you heard it and understood it. This closing of the communication loop is the purpose of an acknowledgement. It lets the sender know their transmission was received, preventing miscommunication and delays. The term used here is the explicit acknowledgement of receipt—saying you got the message. The other options describe status or actions unrelated to confirming receipt: one is about being busy and asking the other party to standby, another is about being in service or available, and the last is about passing the message along to someone else.
