Which option is the official name for the Arab organization abbreviated OAPEC?

• A. Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Communities
• B. Organization of American Petroleum Exporting Countries
• C. Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries
• D. Organization of Arab Petroleum Economics Council

Answer: (C)

This question tests your ability to map an acronym to its official name. For OAPEC, each word in the acronym matches the words in the official title: Organization, Arab, Petroleum, Exporting, Countries. That exact phrasing identifies a group of Arab states that export petroleum and coordinate energy policy, so the official name is Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries.

The other options diverge from that wording: one uses Communities instead of Countries, another uses American instead of Arab, and another ends with Economics Council, which doesn’t fit the acronym.
