Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The PSAT/NMSQT is taken by students who wish to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program, which provides significant financial aid for college. It is not intended for early graduation or early college entry, and it does not serve as a recruitment tool for private colleges and universities.
