Question 164 Deck Safety

The correct answer is A) NO-VAY-NINER. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Phonetic Alphabet, which is the standard used for radiotelephone communications, specifies that the number "9" should be pronounced as "NO-VAY-NINER." This is to ensure clear and unambiguous communication, as the number 9 could be easily confused with other numbers like 5 or 6 if not pronounced correctly. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the standard ITU Phonetic Alphabet. For example, "NEW-MER-AL-NINER" and "NUM-BER-NINE" are not the standard pronunciations, and "OK-TOH-NINE" is not the correct way to pronounce the number 9 in the phonetic alphabet.
