Which abbreviation stands for the Government Code?

• A. General Code
• B. Governing Code
• C. G.C.
• D. Government Code

Answer: (C)

In legal references, codes are identified by standard abbreviations to save space and avoid repetition. The Government Code is typically abbreviated as G.C., making it quick and clear that you’re referring to the Government Code rather than any other code.

That shorthand is widely used in statutory tables, official annotations, and practice materials, so when you see G.C., you know it points to the Government Code. The other options do not represent recognized abbreviations for this code in standard legal usage—they’re not used as official shortenings of the Government Code—and the full title, Government Code, is written out rather than abbreviated.

So, G.C. is the common shorthand for the Government Code, helping you quickly identify the correct code in citations and references.
