Answer: (C)

NCANDS is the national data system that collects, stores, and analyzes information about child abuse and neglect across states, helping track trends, substantiations, and outcomes to inform policy and practice. Among the options, the one that best fits is the choice that identifies a national scope and focuses on child abuse and neglect within a system.
