What does the acronym NAFTA stand for?

• A. North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
• B. Mercosur
• C. NGOs
• D. Special Economic Zones (SEZs)

Answer: (A)

Understanding how acronyms map to full names. NAFTA stands for North American Free Trade Agreement, the treaty among Canada, the United States, and Mexico aimed at reducing trade barriers and encouraging cross-border commerce (originally enacted in 1994). The other terms refer to entirely different concepts—Mercosur is a South American trade bloc, NGOs are non-governmental organizations, and Special Economic Zones are areas with special regulatory regimes. So the expansion North American Free Trade Agreement matches the acronym exactly. Note that, in practice, the agreement has been updated and replaced by USMCA, but the historical full form of NAFTA remains as stated.
