Explanation
ISO 9001 is the globally recognized standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS), and it serves as the foundational framework that pharmaceutical companies adapt - often alongside industry-specific guidelines like ICH Q10 - to ensure consistent product quality, regulatory compliance, and continuous process improvement. ISO 14001 (option B) is an Environmental Management System standard focused on minimizing environmental impact, not on product quality or manufacturing processes, making it irrelevant to pharmaceutical QMS contexts.
Memory tip: Think "9001 = Quality, One standard to rule them all." The number 9 visually resembles a pill capsule - linking ISO 9001 to pharmaceuticals and quality.
