Suggested Answer: C

The LEED rating systems reference the standards of various organizations that are relevant to green building design, construction, and operation. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is one of these organizations, and its standards cover topics such as fire safety, electrical safety, emergency power systems, and fire suppression systems. The LEED rating systems reference the NFPA standards in several credits and prerequisites, such as Minimum Energy Performance, Minimum Indoor Air Quality Performance, and Environmental Tobacco Smoke Control.

I'm going with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) on this one. They're the experts in all things standardization, including green building standards.

Haha, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) is an interesting choice, but I doubt they have much to do with LEED. Unless the architects are designing really, really green buildings!

Hmm, I'm not sure about the Meeting Professionals International (MP!) option. Seems a bit random for a LEED question, don't you think?

I think the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards are also included in LEED. Fire safety is a big part of sustainable design, right?
