KEH BECK
B
QUE BACH
C
QU UE
D
QWE BEC
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) KEH BECK. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Phonetic Alphabet, the letter "Q" should be pronounced as "KEH BECK" when spoken on the radiotelephone. This standard pronunciation is used to ensure clear and unambiguous communication, especially in noisy or challenging radio environments. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the established ITU phonetic alphabet. For example, "QUE BACH," "QU UE," and "QWE BEC" are not the standardized pronunciation for the letter "Q" in radiotelephone communication.
