Explanation

Checklists (D) are the designated quality control tool used when verifying requirements and designs because they provide a structured, repeatable mechanism to systematically confirm that each item meets defined standards - ensuring nothing is overlooked during inspection.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Review - A review is the process or activity itself (e.g., a walkthrough or inspection), not a quality control tool used within that process. Checklists are used during reviews.
• B. Acceptance and evaluation criteria - These define what must be satisfied for something to be approved, but they describe standards, not the instrument used to verify compliance during QC.
• C. Item tracking - This is used to log and follow up on defects or open issues after they're found, not to systematically verify requirements and designs upfront.

Memory tip: Think "Check" → "Checklist." Quality control is about checking things off in an organized, consistent way - a checklist does exactly that by giving reviewers a predefined list of conditions to confirm, making it the go-to QC tool for requirements and design verification.
