Which of the following is a trade association involved in fire prevention and protection?

• A. American Concrete Institute
• B. Gypsum Association
• C. National Fire Sprinkler Association
• D. Portland Cement Association

Answer: (C)

Understanding which group focuses on fire prevention and protection is key. The National Fire Sprinkler Association is a trade association dedicated specifically to fire sprinkler systems and the broader fire protection industry, providing training, technical guidance, and standards-based information to improve safety. That focus makes it the best fit for a question about a group involved in fire prevention and protection.

The other groups are trade associations for building materials rather than fire protection. The American Concrete Institute concentrates on concrete technology and design, the Gypsum Association on gypsum products, and the Portland Cement Association on cement. While these materials relate to construction and can influence fire resistance, their primary mission isn’t fire prevention or protection.
