Which distribution statement is for technical documents that can only be distributed to U.S. Government agencies and their contractors?

The correct choice pertains to the distribution of technical documents that are classified for limited distribution specifically to U.S. Government agencies and their contractors. Distribution C is the designation used to indicate that the documents are not unrestricted and are only available to authorized individuals within specified government sectors. This designation ensures that sensitive information is controlled and only accessed by parties who have the proper need-to-know and appropriate clearances associated with government operations.

Distribution A typically covers documents that are approved for public release, allowing broader access. Distribution B generally permits distribution to specific U.S. Government agencies without the limitation of contractors, while Distribution D usually refers to information that is classified for certain other restricted audiences, which does not precisely align with the criteria of being limited to U.S. Government agencies and their contractors. Therefore, Distribution C accurately reflects the conditions mentioned in the question.
