What phonetic word corresponds to the letter 'Q'?

The phonetic word that corresponds to the letter 'Q' is "Quebec." This term is part of the NATO phonetic alphabet, which is used for clear communication, especially over radio and telephone, to ensure that letters are understood regardless of a speaker's accent or background noise. Each letter in the alphabet has a designated phonetic word, and "Quebec" was chosen for 'Q' for its distinctiveness and ease of understanding in various languages.

While the other options like "Queen," "Quincy," and "Quarter" are also words that start with 'Q', they are not the standardized phonetic representation used in the phonetic alphabet. Using "Quebec" helps avoid confusion that might arise from similar sounding letters or words in communication scenarios.
