Hi Laxman,


My answer is Verify Scope. The key here is "Product acceptance criteria"


QA - Normally you do to ensure if all the quality process are being followed. These might be part of Acceptance criteria.


QC - You perform QC to ensure that product meet the specifications.


Verify Scope - This process is done to gain Formal Acceptance from the client.  This includes Inspection, Walkthroughs, audits ..etc .The Input for Verify scope is Validated deliverables (which is output of Perform QC). QA is normally done before QC.


Hope this helps,


Regards,


Anand KL, PMP

Is your confusion moved out or not?


Read pmbok "verify scope"  that is a way of learning.


verify scope tools is Inspection - and what is inspection ?


what is written in content of question is the same is difined as Inspection in PMBOK.


It seldom happens ,  but practice makes perfect.
