Explanation

NOTE: The marked answer is debatable. Per PMBOK, the primary goal of Control Quality is to assess project outputs and ensure the product, service, or result meets customer expectations and quality standards - which aligns more closely with Answer C. Answer D describes a specific quality testing activity (checking whether errors are within acceptable margins), which is a technique used within Control Quality but not the overall goal. Answer A describes Monitor and Control Project Work. For exam purposes, Answer C ('assess performance and ensure the project product meets customer expectations') is the canonical PMBOK definition of the Control Quality process goal.
