• A. Quality control
• B. CNC machining
• C. Soldering
• D. Risk assessment

Answer: (A)

Quality control is the process of checking components during manufacture to ensure they meet tolerances and standards. It involves inspecting, measuring, and testing parts as they are produced so any deviations from the specified dimensions or performance can be spotted and corrected before items proceed. This helps ensure consistency, proper fit, and safety in the final product. Tools and methods used might include calipers, micrometers, go/no-go gauges, and sampling plans, all aimed at verifying conformity to design specifications. The other terms refer to different activities: CNC machining is a method used to shape parts, soldering is a joining technique, and risk assessment focuses on identifying hazards and reducing them.
