Explanation

Code reviews serve as a human checkpoint where reviewers ensure that submitted code adheres to the team's agreed-upon coding style, naming conventions, formatting rules, and best practices. This ongoing enforcement during the review process is how teams maintain consistency across a codebase. Choice A is incorrect because code reviews aim to eliminate bugs, not allow them. Choice B is incorrect because code reviews enforce internal team standards, not necessarily international standards bodies. Choice D reverses the relationship - standards guide what reviewers look for, but they do not prescribe the mechanics of how reviews are conducted.
