Explanation

Option E is correct because all four preceding statements accurately describe Dr. W. Edwards Deming - a single choice like A, B, C, or D would be incomplete, making it wrong by omission rather than by falsehood. Deming did lecture extensively in Japan after World War II, where his teachings on statistical process control helped transform Japanese manufacturing. He authored influential books such as Out of the Crisis and The New Economics, and he lectured widely in the US (particularly after Japan's industrial success drew attention back to his methods). He is universally recognized as a founding figure in the quality management field, credited with concepts like the PDCA cycle and the 14 Points for Management. Memory tip: Think "Deming Did it All" - Japan, books, US lectures, and quality expertise are the four pillars of his legacy, so whenever you see his name, expect "all of the above" to be in play.
