Explanation

Process specification describes technical requirements for services performed on a component - think maintenance procedures, testing protocols, or manufacturing steps applied to a part. It governs how something is done to a component, not the component itself.

• A (Product specification) is wrong because it defines the physical or functional characteristics of the end item or component itself (dimensions, performance, materials used in the item).
• C (Material specification) is wrong because it covers the raw materials or substances used - their properties and quality requirements - not actions performed on a component.
• D (Development specification) is wrong because it addresses requirements for designing and developing a system or item, not for services or processes applied to one.

Memory tip: Think of "process" as a verb - it describes what you do to something. If the spec is about an action or service performed on a component (e.g., cleaning, inspecting, heat-treating), it's a Process specification.
