Which of the following is an acronym?

An acronym is a word formed from the initial letters of a longer name or phrase and spoken as a single word. NASA fits because National Aeronautics and Space Administration is pronounced as a single word, “NASA.” JFK is just the initials of a name and is spoken letter by letter, not as a word. The United Nations is typically spoken as the initials “U-N,” not a word. No Child Left Behind is a full phrase, not a single word formed from its initials.
