Why each option
The Ishikawa diagram and Pareto chart are both recognized quality control tools used to identify, analyze, and prioritize the root causes of defects or quality problems.
A Gantt chart is a project scheduling tool used to plan and visualize task timelines and dependencies, not a quality control instrument.
The Ishikawa diagram (also known as a fishbone or cause-and-effect diagram) is a quality control tool that visually maps potential root causes of a defect across categories such as people, process, and equipment.
Parametric estimating is a cost and duration estimation technique that applies statistical relationships to historical data, not a quality control tool.
A probability and impact matrix is a risk management tool used to assess and prioritize identified project risks, not a quality control tool.
The Pareto chart is a quality control tool based on the 80/20 principle that ranks defect causes by frequency or impact, allowing teams to focus improvement efforts on the factors with the greatest effect on quality.
