Which of the following was not one of the three broad categories of recommendations listed in The 9/11 Commission Report?

• A. Funding Appropriations
• B. Intelligence and congressional reform
• C. Homeland security and emergency response
• D. Foreign policy and nonproliferation

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is understanding the three broad reform areas the 9/11 Commission identified for strengthening national security. Those areas focus on structural changes: improving how intelligence is collected, shared, and overseen; enhancing homeland security and emergency response across federal, state, and local levels; and shaping foreign policy and nonproliferation to prevent future threats. Funding appropriations, while essential for actually implementing reforms, is a budgeting issue rather than a reform category. It isn’t one of the structural areas the report grouped its recommendations into, which is why this option is the correct answer.
