The acronym GU stands for which of the following?

  1. General Utility

  2. Genito-Urinary

  3. Global Union

  4. Guide Unit

The correct answer is: Genito-Urinary

The acronym GU stands for Genito-Urinary, as it refers to the organs and systems involved in excretion and reproduction. Option A, General Utility, and Option D, Guide Unit, are unrelated to the topic of genito-urinary. Option C, Global Union, also has no relation to GU and is a term used to refer to international or worldwide organizations or alliances. Therefore, only option B accurately represents the meaning of the acronym GU.
