What is the phonetic alphabet term for the letter Y?

Yankee
Zulu
Bravo
Delta

The correct answer is: Yankee

The phonetic alphabet term for the letter Y is "Yankee." In the NATO phonetic alphabet, which is used for clear communication, especially in military and aviation contexts, each letter is represented by a corresponding word to avoid confusion. "Yankee" is specifically designated for the letter Y and is intended to help ensure that the letter is accurately understood regardless of noise or poor transmission quality. The other terms provided correspond to different letters: "Zulu" represents Z, "Bravo" stands for B, and "Delta" is for D. Each of these words serves a distinct purpose in the phonetic alphabet, but they do not represent the letter Y, which is why "Yankee" is the correct choice for this question.
