Explanation
Statistical sampling is a recognized tool and technique in the Control Quality process (PMBOK Guide). It involves selecting a representative portion of a population for inspection, which is especially useful when testing every item is impractical or costly. Parametric estimating (B) is used in cost and resource estimation processes, not quality control. Expert judgment (D) is widely used across many processes but is not a specific Control Quality T&T in the same way. Attribute sampling (A) is a concept related to quality but is a subset of statistical sampling, not listed as a standalone T&T for Control Quality in PMBOK. Statistical sampling is the direct and correct answer as listed in PMBOK.
