Charts showing the coast of Mexico are produced by the United States _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is the U.S. government agency responsible for producing and distributing nautical charts, including those covering the coast of Mexico. This is because the NGA is the primary mapping and charting agency for the U.S. government, with the authority to create and publish all official nautical charts and geographic information.
The other options are incorrect because the National Ocean Service is responsible for U.S. coastal waters, the Coast Guard does not produce charts, and the Naval Observatory is responsible for astronomical data, not nautical charts.
