The acronym 'MS' refers to which of the following?

  1. Multiple Sclerosis

  2. Main Sequence

  3. Mass Spectrometry

  4. Magnetic Susceptibility

The correct answer is: Multiple Sclerosis

MS is an acronym that can refer to any condition, product, or process that includes these two words such as, Microsoft, a multistate insurance plan, Moral and Social philosophy, and Motor Ship; however, the only medical one is Multiple Sclerosis. Therefore, choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not commonly known acronyms used to refer to Multiple Sclerosis.
