D sounds right because accreditation is meant to show that a health plan meets quality standards for patients. I think that’s a key point we covered.

Ah, the old 'all accrediting bodies use the same standards' trick. Of course that's not true, each organization has its own criteria. Option B is definitely wrong.

Option D seems the most accurate to me. Accreditation is a way for health plans to show they meet quality standards, which is important for their external customers like employers and members.
