NPPE materials explain that industry codes and standards are developed to promote safety, quality, reliability, and consistency in professional practice. They often represent minimum acceptable requirements and may be incorporated into legislation or contracts, making them legally enforceable. Exceeding codes and standards is not unprofessional when justified. Employer standards cannot override legally adopted industry standards. Therefore, option B is correct.

I recall a practice question that discussed how codes are guidelines, which makes C seem plausible, but I’m not entirely confident.
