Answer 1

Right option is (a) 9001 – product design, development, installation and servicing, 9002 – quality assurance at production and installation charges, 9003 – testing and inspections

The explanation is: Standards are sets of rules that have been accepted all over for the regulation and maintenance of a certain place, organization, machine, technology etc. It helps provide uniformity. ISO 9000 is a list of standards related to quality management regarding products so the standards 9001, 9002, 9003 relating to the product is the solution.
