What format does a DEA number follow?

  1. 3 letters and 6 numbers

  2. 2 letters and 7 numbers

  3. 2 numbers and 6 letters

  4. 1 letter and 8 numbers

The correct answer is: 2 letters and 7 numbers

A DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) number follows the format of 2 letters and 7 numbers. This number is used by healthcare professionals to write prescriptions for controlled substances, and the format is designed to provide a unique identifier for each prescriber. Options A, C, and D all contain incorrect combinations of letters and numbers, which would not be a valid DEA number.
