What is the meaning of the acronym w/c?

  1. water closet

  2. wheel chair

  3. wireless communication

  4. week commencing

The correct answer is: wheel chair

The correct meaning of the acronym w/c is wheel chair. This acronym is commonly used in situations where a person needs assistance or accommodation due to a disability or injury. The other options, while they may also use the same acronym, are not related to the context of providing assistance or accommodation. For example, "water closet" is another term for bathroom or toilet, "wireless communication" refers to the use of technology and devices to transmit information without the need for physical wires, and "week commencing" is a phrase commonly used in business and scheduling to indicate the start of a new work week. Therefore, these options are incorrect as they do not match the context in which the w/c acronym is typically used.
