The correct answer is option 1.
Key Points
Quality control
Quality control is a series of inspections, reviews, and tests conducted during the software development process to ensure that each work product follows the specifications. A feedback loop to the process that produced the work product is included in quality control. When the work items produced fail to meet their expectations, the process is fine-tuned using a combination of calculation and feedback. Quality management is regarded as an important part of the production process in this approach.
Quality control activities may be fully automated, entirely manual, or a combination of automated tools and human interaction. A key concept of Quality control is that all work products have defined, measurable specifications to which we may compare the output of each process. The feedback loop is essential to minimize the defects produced.
Hence Statement I is correct.
Quality assurance
Management's auditing and monitoring activities make up quality assurance. The aim of quality assurance is to provide management with the information they need to make informed decisions about product quality, allowing them to gain knowledge and trust that the product is achieving its objectives.
Of course, if the data provided through quality assurance identify problems, it is the managements responsibility to address the problems and apply the necessary resources to resolve quality issues.
