Explanation
The primary objective of IT Quality Assurance is to ensure that IT services, systems, and products conform to defined requirements and meet the needs of the business. QA functions as a systematic process of verification and validation throughout the IT lifecycle. Launching projects rapidly (A) is an agility objective, not a QA objective - in fact, QA may slow speed in favor of quality. Adopting the latest technologies (C) is an innovation or modernization goal. Reducing costs and capacity (D) may be a secondary benefit of efficient processes, but cost reduction is not the primary purpose of QA.
