Common mistakes.

B. A Pareto chart is a bar graph used in quality management to rank defect causes by frequency, applying the 80/20 rule - it does not map process flows or interfaces.
C. A control chart is a statistical quality tool used to monitor process performance over time against control limits - it tracks data trends, not process relationships or interfaces.
D. A quality baseline documents the agreed-upon quality standards and metrics for a project - it is a reference document, not a flowchart of process interactions.
E. A RACI chart assigns roles and responsibilities (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) to project tasks - it maps people to activities, not processes to interfaces.
