Explanation

Credentials (C) is correct because the Credentials Committee is the body specifically responsible for reviewing, verifying, and evaluating applications from medical staff seeking hospital privileges - this includes checking licensure, training, experience, and competency.

The Ethics Committee (A) handles moral and ethical dilemmas in patient care decisions, not staff application processing. The Joint Conference (B) is a liaison committee bridging the medical staff and the hospital governing board, focusing on communication and policy rather than vetting applicants.

Memory tip: Think "Credentials = Credibility check" - just as you verify a job candidate's credentials before hiring, the Credentials Committee verifies a clinician's qualifications before granting privileges.
