Explanation

In-process testing applies to each step in the manufacturing process (C) because quality control must be monitored continuously - catching defects early at every stage prevents flawed materials from advancing further down the production line, reducing waste and ensuring consistent output.

  • A is wrong because limiting testing to only the beginning ignores quality issues that can arise at any subsequent stage of production.
  • B is wrong because in-process testing is a quality assurance and production function, not a marketing tool.
  • D is wrong because final product testing alone is too late - defects found at the end are costly and cannot retroactively fix problems introduced mid-process.

Memory tip: Think of in-process testing like checkpoints on a road trip - you don't just check the car before you leave and when you arrive; you monitor it throughout the journey to catch problems before they strand you.
