    Dരണ്ട്

    Answer:

    B. ഒന്നും രണ്ടും മൂന്നും

    Read Explanation:

    • Quality Management is a broad framework that encompasses various strategies and processes, including TQM, but is not identical to it. TQM is a specific philosophy and set of guiding principles for achieving Total Quality.

    • Quality Management considers the entire lifecycle, from planning to improvement, not just final product inspection or defect rectification.

    • QA is indeed proactive, aiming to prevent issues by strengthening the entire quality system, not just fixing outputs.
