If I had a dollar for every time I saw a cause and effect diagram, I'd be a millionaire! They're like the duct tape of quality tools - you can use them for just about anything.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Wouldn't a cause and effect diagram also be useful for detecting shifts in a process? That's what option B is talking about.

Option C, developing theories based on symptoms, is clearly the most relevant choice here. A cause and effect diagram is all about identifying potential causes for a problem.
