Explanation

Personal employee emails (C) are informal, private communications that fall outside the scope of Good Manufacturing Practice documentation - GMP documents must be controlled, versioned, approved, and traceable, which emails are not.

Master plans (A), manufacturing instructions (B), and test instructions (D) are all core GMP document types: master plans define high-level validation or quality strategies, manufacturing instructions (batch records, SOPs) govern how products are made, and test instructions specify how quality control procedures are performed - all are subject to document control requirements.

Memory tip: Think of the GMP document system as a formal library with strictly catalogued entries. If a document can't be version-controlled, reviewed by QA, and retrieved in an audit, it doesn't belong on the shelf. Emails live in an inbox, not a document management system.
