What is the full meaning of PDM?

  1. Program Development and Management

  2. Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program

  3. Public Decision Making

  4. Product Data Management

The correct answer is: Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program

PDM stands for "Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program". This program focuses on minimizing the impact of natural disasters by implementing proactive measures to prevent or reduce potential damage. Option A, "Program Development and Management", is incorrect as the full form of PDM refers to a specific type of program and does not cover the entire concept of program development and management. Option C, "Public Decision Making", is incorrect as PDM is not related to decision-making on a general or public level. Option D, "Product Data Management", is also incorrect as it does not relate to natural disasters and their mitigation. Therefore, option B best describes the full meaning of PDM.
