Question 11Navigation General70% to pass
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (formerly the National Imagery and Mapping Agency) would produce a chart of the coast of _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Canada.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is responsible for producing nautical charts and other geospatial intelligence products for the United States, including its coastal regions and territorial waters. As Canada is a neighboring country to the United States, the NGA would be responsible for charting the Canadian coastline as part of its mission to provide comprehensive geospatial data for US maritime operations and navigation.
The other answer choices (Puerto Rico, Alaska, and Hawaii) are incorrect because these are all part of the United States or its territories, and the charting of these areas would fall under the responsibility of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), not the NGA.
