Which organization provides the National Domestic Violence Hotline?

• A. Texas Council on Family Violence
• B. Rape crisis centers
• C. Local district attorney's office
• D. National Domestic Violence Hotline

Answer: (D)

The key idea here is knowing which organization runs the nationwide helpline for domestic violence. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is the nationwide, 24/7 resource that survivors, friends, and family can call for confidential crisis intervention, safety planning, information about options, and referrals to local services. It is the organization specifically designated to provide this national hotline, making it the correct choice.

The other options refer to groups that do important work but do not operate the national DV hotline: a state-level organization focuses on services within a state (Texas), rape crisis centers primarily support sexual assault survivors, and a local district attorney’s office handles prosecution and legal matters rather than running a nationwide helpline.
