• C. Advanced Digital Information Network System
• D. Automatic Data Interchange Network

Answer: (A)

AUTODIN represents an automated system for moving digital information across a network. The expansion Automatic Digital Information Network fits that purpose: it emphasizes automation, digital data, the content being information, and the interconnecting system that links multiple nodes. Historically, this was the DoD’s primary digital messaging backbone, designed to speed and standardize military communications between commands and services. Among the options, this phrasing is the closest to the established designation and function of AUTODIN, while the other choices introduce terms or structures that don’t reflect its actual naming or role as a network for digital information exchange.
