Which of the following actions is NOT considered a procedure for SCN responses?

• A. Acknowledge receipt, if polled
• B. Answer promptly with your name and organization
• C. Copy the information being passed
• D. Answer promptly and remain silent

Answer: (B)

In SCN responses, the emphasis is on handling information securely and efficiently without exposing identifying details. A standard procedure would be to acknowledge receipt when polled so the sender knows you’re active, copy the information being passed to keep a trace for verification, and respond promptly with concise, relevant data. Providing your name and organization, however, reveals who you are and your affiliation, which can create security risks and isn’t required for the transmission. That unnecessary disclosure isn’t part of how SCN responses are typically conducted, making it the not-fit option.
