  1. The Secretary of Transportation

  2. Director of intelligence and security

  3. Head of Aviation Security

  4. Transportation Safety Administrator

The correct answer is: Director of intelligence and security

B Director of intelligence and security is the correct choice as they have been designated with the authority to develop policies, strategies and plans for dealing with transportation threats within the FAA and DOT. The other options are incorrect because: A: The Secretary of Transportation is responsible for the overall management of the DOT and FAA, and overseeing the development and implementation of policies and programs. While they may have a say in transportation security policies, they do not have the sole authority to develop them. C: Head of Aviation Security is responsible for developing and implementing security policies and procedures within the FAA, but they do not have authority over all transportation threats within the DOT. D: Transportation Safety Administrator is responsible for overseeing aviation safety programs and regulations, but they do not have the authority to develop policies specifically for transportation threats.
