Option D it is! Although, I do have to say, the risk-based approach is kind of like the cool kid of the ISO 9000:2015 principles. It's like the principle that's too edgy to be a principle.

Yeah, I agree. 'Risk-based approach' is a smart way to implement the principles, but it's not a principle itself. I'm going with option D.

Good call, Eleni. I'm pretty sure 'risk-based approach' is not an official principle. It's more of a strategy or methodology that organizations can use within the framework of the principles.

Okay, let's think this through. The ISO 9000:2015 principles are customer focus, leadership, engagement of people, process approach, improvement, evidence-based decision-making, and relationship management. I don't think 'risk-based approach' is one of them.

You're right, this doesn't seem like an easy question. I'm studying the principles pretty hard, and I'm not completely sure about this one.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I feel like the ISO 9000:2015 principles are pretty well-known, so they're trying to catch us with a curveball.
