Which is the NATO phonetic for the letter C?

• A. Alpha
• B. Delta
• C. Charlie
• D. Bravo

Answer: (C)

In the NATO phonetic alphabet, each letter has a distinct code word to ensure clear radio communication, especially in noisy environments. For the letter C, the code word is Charlie. Saying “Charlie” instead of just “C” helps avoid confusion with similar sounds and ensures the letter comes through accurately over the radio.

To connect the others, Alpha corresponds to A, Bravo to B, and Delta to D, so those code words are not for the letter C. Charlie is what you use whenever you need to spell or identify a C in this system.
