Explanation

Quality unit (site) management is responsible for ensuring that all products released to the market meet established quality standards - making C (Ensuring proper batch release) correct. Batch release is a core GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) function where the quality unit reviews batch records, test results, and deviations before authorizing product distribution.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (Team-building events) falls under HR or management, not quality oversight functions.
  • B (Designing product packaging) is a marketing or R&D responsibility, not a quality unit function (though QA reviews packaging for compliance, it doesn't design it).
  • D (Setting sales targets) belongs to commercial/sales leadership - entirely outside the quality unit's remit.

Memory tip: Think of the quality unit as the "gatekeeper" - its job is to say yes or no to releasing a batch, not to plan events, create designs, or drive revenue. If a responsibility sounds like it belongs to HR, Marketing, or Sales, it's not the quality unit.
