What does SPS stand for?

Standby Power System
Systematic Power Supply
Secure Power Source
Static Power Service

The correct answer is: Standby Power System

SPS stands for Standby Power System and is used to refer to a backup power system that is designed to provide electricity in the event of an outage or failure in a primary power source. While Systematic Power Supply (B), Secure Power Source (C), and Static Power Service (D) may seem like viable options, they do not accurately represent the purpose or function of an SPS. A Systematic Power Supply may refer to a systematic approach to power distribution, but it does not specifically pertain to a backup system. A Secure Power Source may indicate a reliable source of power, but it does not specifically refer to a backup system. And a Static Power Service may imply a consistent source of power, but it does not necessarily guarantee a backup in case of failure. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it accurately represents the intended meaning of SPS.
