I'm hoping the 'checking' step in PDCA involves more than just staring at the results. Maybe a quick game of 'I Spy' to keep things interesting?

Option A sounds like a sales pitch for the PDCA methodology. Real-world improvements require a combination of approaches, not just one 'best' way.

I'd have to go with option C. The 'checking' process in PDCA is designed to uncover issues and guide the next steps in the improvement process.

I think option D is also important because the process should continue until the desired results are achieved.

Option D seems a bit extreme. The PDCA process is meant to be a continuous cycle, not a one-time task until the desired results are achieved.

I disagree with option B. The 'checking' process is just as important as the 'doing' step in the PDCA cycle. You can't improve without proper evaluation.

I think option C is the correct answer. The 'checking' process in the PDCA cycle is crucial for identifying areas for improvement and corrective actions.
