Explanation:

The question asks for outside agencies that set quality control standards. Industry leaders, CEOs, and a company’s department head are internal to a company or industry. Local health and safety inspectors enforce standards but don't typically set them. A government regulatory agency is an outside entity that can establish quality control standards for industries (e.g., FDA for food/pharmaceuticals).

D. A government regulatory agency
