What does ORD stand for?

  1. Orlando, Florida

  2. Ontario, California

  3. Oregon, USA

  4. Chicago

The correct answer is: Orlando, Florida

ORD stands for Chicago O'Hare International Airport. This is the busiest airport in the state of Illinois and the third busiest airport in the United States in terms of passenger traffic. While the other options in the choices are all possible locations for an airport, they are not related to the abbreviation ORD. Option A, Orlando, Florida, is home to Orlando International Airport (MCO), not ORD. Option B, Ontario, California, is home to Ontario International Airport (ONT), not ORD. Option C, Oregon, USA, is a state and does not stand for an airport abbreviation. Therefore, the correct answer is A, Orlando, Florida, as it is related to ORD and accurately represents the location of the airport.
