why is quality control important in engineering?
a. a. it increases product
b. b. it reduces safety and reliability
c. c. it ensures products meet standards and customer expectations
d. d. it eliminates the need for testing

Explanation:

• Option A: Quality control aims to ensure quality, not directly increase production (production is more about efficiency/volume).
• Option B: Quality control actually enhances safety and reliability, not reduces.
• Option C: The main goal of quality control in engineering is to make sure products meet standards (like industry standards) and customer expectations (what customers want from the product).
• Option D: Quality control does not eliminate testing; testing is part of quality control processes.
