Explanation
True (A) is correct because automation executes predefined processes consistently, eliminating variability introduced by human fatigue, distraction, or inconsistency - common sources of defects in manual workflows. Repetitive tasks like data entry, testing, or assembly are especially prone to human error, and automating them directly reduces defect rates and improves output consistency.
False (B) is incorrect because it contradicts well-established practice: industries from manufacturing to software development use automation specifically because it raises quality by removing the unpredictability of manual execution.
Memory tip: Think of a factory robot on an assembly line - it tightens every bolt to the exact same torque, every time, with no "Monday morning" mistakes. Automation = consistency = fewer errors = higher quality.
