Selected Answer: C

Why the other options are incorrect: A. These are the costs associated with evaluating or inspecting deliverables to ensure quality (e.g., testing, reviews). They do not include rework. B. These are budget buffers set aside for unknown-unknowns (unforeseen risks). They're not meant to directly cover quality-related rework due to known issues. D. These are costs incurred to prevent defects, such as training, quality audits, and process improvements—not the cost of correcting them.

How is it a non-conformance. It was detected by the project manager internally. Non-conformance or defect repair is when it the issue is picked by the user isn't it?
