Answer: (A)

In AFJROTC, the Aerospace Science Instructor is the mentor and primary instructor who leads the cadet program, delivering the aerospace science curriculum, guiding activities, and advising cadets day to day. This role is typically filled by a retired Air Force noncommissioned officer or officer who works with the Senior Aerospace Science Instructor to run the program at the school. In this scenario, the person who fits that role is United States Air Force Retired Master Sergeant Carlos Guevara. He brings the enlisted leadership and hands-on experience that the ASI provides to cadets, helping them learn, stay organized, and stay motivated. The other individuals listed are not described as the ASI in this context, even though they are also retired or serving in different capacities.
