What is the meaning of TIA?

  1. Total internal audit

  2. Transient ischemic attack

  3. Thumb impression authority

  4. Trade and investment allowance

The correct answer is: Transient ischemic attack

Each of the other options are incorrect because they do not accurately or commonly represent the meaning of TIA. Total internal audit is not a widely used term nor does it directly relate to the letters TIA, Thumb impression authority is a lesser known term and is not typically referred to using the acronym TIA, and trade and investment allowance is a specific term related to financial matters and does not pertain to a medical condition or term like TIA. The correct answer, Transient ischemic attack, is a common and recognized medical term given the letters TIA represent the condition.
