Explanation

GMP Document Systems in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Option C is correct because the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) document system exists primarily to create a traceable paper trail proving that all manufacturing activities meet regulatory requirements (such as FDA 21 CFR or EU GMP guidelines) and internal corporate standards - enabling audits, inspections, and product release decisions. Options A, B, and D describe valid operational concerns (production planning, HR management, and inventory control), but these are handled by separate systems (ERP/MES, HRIS, and warehouse management systems respectively); the GMP document system is specifically a compliance and quality assurance framework, not an operational efficiency tool. A useful memory tip: think of GMP documents as your "proof of compliance" - every batch record, SOP, deviation report, and validation protocol exists to answer the question "How do we know this was done correctly and to standard?" - which points directly to regulatory and corporate documentation.
