What is M in the phonetic alphabet?

Mike
Hotel
Juliette
India

The correct answer is: Mike

In the phonetic alphabet, "M" represents "Mike." This system, often used in telecommunications and aviation, helps ensure clarity and understanding when spelling out letters over radio or telephone communications. Each letter of the alphabet corresponds to a unique word to avoid confusion, especially in environments where audio quality may be poor or when there is background noise. For instance, using "Mike" for "M" clearly distinguishes that letter from others that might sound similar, such as "N" (often associated with "November") or "B" (often associated with "Bravo"). Therefore, "Mike" serves as the established term for the letter "M" in this standardized communication format. The other options correspond to different letters: "Hotel" for "H," "Juliette" for "J," and "India" for "I," none of which signify "M."
