How is a security classification suffix indicated in TMINS?

• A. After the PI, separated by a slash
• B. Before the PI
• C. In parentheses after the PI
• D. In a separate file

Answer: (A)

TMINS encodes the security classification suffix right after the protection indicator, using a slash to separate them. So you’d see the protection indicator followed by a slash and then the suffix (for example, PI/SECRET). The slash clearly marks the boundary so systems can parse the classification correctly. Other formats—placing the suffix before the protection indicator, in parentheses after it, or in a separate file—don’t follow TMINS conventions.
