What does SCORE stand for?

• A. Small Business Administration (SBA)
• B. Trade Association
• C. Service Corp of Retired Executives (SCORE)
• D. Demographics

Answer: (C)

SCORE stands for Service Corps of Retired Executives. This name captures the idea of a group (a corps) of experienced, retired executives who volunteer to mentor and help small businesses. That identity is exactly what SCORE is known for—a nonprofit network aligned with the Small Business Administration to provide free guidance from seasoned founders and leaders. The other options don’t fit because one describes the agency that partners with SCORE rather than the acronym’s meaning, another is a general type of organization, and the last is unrelated terminology.
