Which option corresponds to Enemy prisoners of war?

• A. Enemy prisoners of war
• B. US military
• C. Non-US civilian
• D. Non-US military

Answer: (A)

Prisoners of war are combatants who have been captured by the opposing side during armed conflict and are held by the captor. The word “enemy” specifies whose side they belong to, so the phrase that correctly labels those captured enemy combatants is “Enemy prisoners of war.” The other options describe groups that aren’t prisoners of war themselves: the US military is the captor’s own side, a non-US civilian is a non-combatant, and a non-US military refers to foreign combatants who would be prisoners only if captured.
