Which program is listed as a path to officer commissioning in the material?

• A. Officer Candidate School
• B. ROTC
• C. Naval Academy
• D. Direct Commission

Answer: (A)

Becoming an officer from an enlisted background is addressed by several commissioning routes, and Officer Candidate School is the direct path described for enlisted personnel to become officers. It’s a concentrated program that teaches leadership and naval fundamentals and, upon successful completion, commissions you as an Ensign. The material specifically lists this route for officer commissioning, which is why it’s the best answer in this context. The other options are real commissioning paths in broader practice—ROTC is a college-based route, the Naval Academy is a four-year undergraduate route, and Direct Commission is for professionals with specialized degrees—but the material in question identifies Officer Candidate School as the listed path.
