Haha, the quality metric is definitely not the cost of the process. That's just a byproduct. I'm going with D - the ability to satisfy needs. Isn't that what quality is all about?

I think option C is the best answer here. It clearly defines quality in terms of the assurance process, which is crucial for measuring and controlling quality.
