Which statement describes the relationship between Manage Quality process and Control Quality process?

Manage Quality (formerly Quality Assurance) is process-oriented - it involves auditing quality requirements and results from quality control measurements to ensure appropriate quality standards and operational definitions are being used. Control Quality is product-oriented - it involves monitoring and recording the results of executing quality activities to assess performance and confirm that deliverables conform to customer specifications. Together they form a closed loop: good processes (Manage Quality) produce conforming products (Control Quality).

This reverses the correct definitions - Control Quality is product and conformance focused, while Manage Quality is process and compliance focused, not the other way around.

Manage Quality and Control Quality are distinct processes with different purposes, inputs, outputs, and tools; they are not the same.

Both Manage Quality and Control Quality are processes within the Quality Management Knowledge Area, not separate management process groups; this answer incorrectly categorizes Control Quality under Stakeholder Management.
