Answer: (A)

This item tests knowledge of a historical acquisition in the aerospace industry. In 1985, General Dynamics, a major defense contractor, acquired Cessna Aircraft Company to broaden its portfolio into general and commercial aviation. The deal reflected a strategic move to leverage Cessna’s strong position in light aircraft manufacturing within a larger industrial framework. Later on, Cessna would change hands again, being sold to Textron, but the 1985 buyer was General Dynamics. The other names listed are not connected with this transaction.
