Which term means 'supervisor' in German?

• A. Austauschstudent(in)
• B. Betreuer(in)
• C. Examinations
• D. Schulabschlussprüfung/ ~zeugnis

Answer: (B)

The term for supervisor is Betreuer(in). Betreuer refers to someone who oversees, mentors, or guides another person—like a student’s project supervisor, internship supervisor, or academic advisor. The feminine form Betreuerin (with the option shown as Betreuer(in)) indicates gender variation.

Austauschstudent(in) describes an exchange student, not the person who supervises. Examinations is about tests (Prüfungen), not a person. Schulabschlussprüfung/zeugnis means a final exam or certificate, again not a supervisor. So Betreuer(in) best captures the idea of a supervisor.
