Which proword indicates that the message has been received?

• A. Over
• B. Wilco
• C. Roger
• D. Copy

Answer: (C)

Prowords are standard terms used in radio communications to convey the status of a transmission. When a message has been received, you acknowledge it with a proword that confirms you heard it. The correct choice is 'Roger' because it explicitly confirms receipt of the transmission. It does not imply you will follow the instructions—that would be 'Wilco' (will comply). The word 'Over' signals that you have finished speaking and are waiting for a reply, not that you received the message. 'Copy' can be used to indicate understanding, but in many training contexts it’s less definitive than 'Roger' for indicating receipt of the entire message. Therefore, the proword that indicates receipt is 'Roger.'
