What is K in the phonetic alphabet?

  1. Kilo

  2. Alpha

  3. Bravo

  4. Charlie

The correct answer is: Kilo

In the phonetic alphabet, which is a standardized set used for clear communication over radio and telephone, "K" corresponds to "Kilo." This designation helps avoid confusion between similar-sounding letters, especially in situations where clarity is crucial, like in aviation, military, and emergency services communications. Each letter of the alphabet is associated with a specific word, and "Kilo" is specifically chosen for "K" to provide a distinct and easily recognizable term. The other terms—"Alpha," "Bravo," and "Charlie"—represent the letters "A," "B," and "C," respectively, and are used in conjunction with "Kilo" throughout the phonetic alphabet but do not apply to the letter "K."
