What corresponds to the letter "E" in the phonetic alphabet?

The letter "E" in the phonetic alphabet corresponds to "Echo." This term is used in various communication processes, particularly in aviation and military contexts, to ensure clarity and understanding over potentially noisy channels. The phonetic alphabet was developed to provide distinct and universally understood words that represent each letter, reducing confusion that might arise from mishearing letters in spoken communication.

"Echo" is chosen for the letter "E" partly because its distinctive sound reduces the chance of misinterpretation over radio or telephone signals, which can often be affected by static or interference. In contrast, the other choices do not represent accepted terms within the phonetic alphabet, as they do not provide the necessary clarity and standardization for communication.
