Which council was created to help the President?

• A. The National Security Council
• B. Joint Chiefs of Staff
• C. National Security Agency
• D. Council on Foreign Relations

Answer: (A)

An advisory body created to assist the President on national security and foreign policy, coordinating actions across the State Department, Defense Department, and intelligence communities. This council was established by the National Security Act of 1947 to provide integrated, ongoing guidance to the President on security matters. The other options serve different roles: the Joint Chiefs of Staff are senior military officers who offer military advice; the National Security Agency is an intelligence agency focusing on signals intelligence and cybersecurity; and the Council on Foreign Relations is a private think tank, not a government body created to support the President.
