Which NEC article outlines the purpose and scope as the introduction?

• A. Article 90
• B. Article 100
• C. Article 110
• D. Article 200

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is where the NEC presents its overall purpose, scope, and how to interpret the code. This introduction is found in the article that lays out why the code exists, what it covers, and the rules for reading and applying its provisions. It sets the intent and boundaries for everything that follows and explains how terms are used across the code. That makes it the best fit for outlining purpose and scope as the introduction. The other sections deal with specific definitions or particular installation requirements, not with the code’s introductory purpose and scope, so they don’t serve this role.
