What does FBS stand for?

Fixed Base Simulator
Fasting Blood Sugar
Federal Broadcasting System
Fully Buffered Signal

The correct answer is: Fasting Blood Sugar

FBS stands for Fasting Blood Sugar. This measures the amount of glucose in your blood after you have not eaten for at least 8 hours. This option is correct because it accurately represents the medical acronym for FBS. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the acronym. Option A, Fixed Base Simulator, refers to a type of flight simulator used in pilot training. Option C, Federal Broadcasting System, refers to a proposed government agency for overseeing radio communication in the 1920s. Option D, Fully Buffered Signal, refers to a technology used in computer memory. Therefore, only option B accurately represents the meaning of FBS.
