FD relays tower visibility to other tower positions, McAlester FSS, and which Academy facility?

Explanation:
In this scenario, the key idea is how Flight Data distributes information to facilities that handle traffic operations and coordination. The Flight Data position relays tower visibility to other tower positions and to the Flight Service Station to keep all involved parties informed about the current visibility conditions. The Academy facility that fits here is the Academy Approach. Approach control handles arrivals and departures for the Academy airfield and coordinates closely with the local tower to sequence aircraft and issue approach clearances. Receiving tower visibility data helps the Approach controller manage inbound traffic safely and efficiently as it transitions from en route or area control to the tower. The other options don’t fit because they’re not the coordinating facility for arrivals/departures at the Academy: Academy Center would be an en route/center-type facility not specific to the Academy’s operations, Fort Worth Center is an entirely different en route center, and Academy Tower is the local tower itself rather than the facility that processes these inputs for approach control.
