Which control marking specifies that the information may not be disclosed to foreign governments, international organizations, coalition partners, foreign nationals, or immigrant aliens without originator approval?

• A. Noforn
• B. Rel to
• C. Restricted Data
• D. Imcon

Answer: (A)

Control markings govern who may access or share information. NOFORN (No Foreign Dissemination) indicates that information must not be disclosed to foreign governments, international organizations, coalition partners, foreign nationals, or immigrant aliens without the originator’s approval. This exactly matches the scenario, so it’s the correct choice. Other markings point to different handling rules: Rel to allows release to designated foreign entities under authorized conditions; Restricted Data covers nuclear/classified information with separate rules; Imcon is not a standard, recognized marking.
