Explanation

Inspection is the correct answer because it is the formal quality control technique of physically examining work products and deliverables to verify they conform to documented requirements and acceptance criteria - it's the direct act of looking at the output and measuring it against standards.

Decomposition (A) is a planning technique used to break down project scope into smaller, manageable components (like creating a WBS), not a verification technique. Benchmarking (B) compares your project's processes or results against industry best practices or competitor performance - it's about identifying improvements, not verifying acceptance. Checklist analysis (D) is used during planning to ensure completeness of requirements or risk identification, not to validate finished deliverables against acceptance criteria (though it's easy to confuse since checklists can appear during inspections).

Memory tip: Think of an inspector visiting a construction site - they physically look at the building to confirm it meets code. Inspection = verification by direct examination. If the question uses words like "determine whether," "verify," "meet requirements," or "acceptance criteria," Inspection is almost always the answer.
