Which term is another name for the End Office, a central switching system?

• A. Local Exchange
• B. Facilities
• C. End Office
• D. TSP

Answer: (C)

The term described is used to refer to the local central switching point in the Public Switched Telephone Network. The End Office is the central office where local lines connect and calls are switched to trunk lines toward other parts of the network. Another name for this same central switching system is Local Exchange, which denotes the local interchange handling the routing of local calls. The other options describe different things: Facilities refer to the physical resources and pathways, TSP stands for a Telecommunications Service Provider, and repeating End Office doesn’t provide a distinct synonym. So, Local Exchange is the appropriate alternative term for the End Office.
