Explanation

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is exactly defined as the application of statistical methods to monitor and control processes, ensuring they consistently produce conforming (acceptable) products - making B the precise match.

The distractors are from information security/management domains, not quality control: Information Assurance (A) deals with protecting data integrity and availability; Information Protection Policy (C) governs rules around securing sensitive information; and Information Management Model (D) relates to how organizations handle and govern information assets - none involve statistical monitoring of production processes.

Memory tip: SPC = "Stats for the Production Control" - whenever you see "statistical methods + process monitoring + conforming product," think SPC, which is a core tool in quality management frameworks like Six Sigma and ISO standards.
