I keep mixing up quality control and quality assurance. I thought C was about the structure needed for quality management, but I’m not confident about any of these options.

I practiced a similar question, and I think B was about establishing objectives, which seems important, but it doesn't feel like the best fit for quality control specifically.

I remember we discussed how quality management involves the overall intentions of the organization, which sounds like A, but I feel like that's more about quality assurance.

Quality control? That's easy - it's the part where we get to use a big, red stamp to mark everything 'approved'! Option D for the win!
