Which statement best describes Quality Control?

• A. A proactive prevention-focused approach
• B. A strategy to reduce emissions
• C. A process by which entities review the quality of all factors involved in production
• D. A customer satisfaction scoring method

Answer: (C)

Quality Control is the process of reviewing and testing to ensure the production factors and the final product meet defined standards. It focuses on inspecting outputs and the ways inputs and processes contribute to those outputs, using measurements and checks to detect defects and ensure consistency. This makes it the best description because QC is about verification and defect detection within the production system, rather than preventing problems beforehand (which is more about quality assurance), addressing environmental goals, or measuring customer satisfaction.
