    • A. Control Chart

    • B. Cause and effect Diagram

    Correct Answer
    A. B. Cause and effect Diagram
    Explanation
    A cause and effect diagram, also known as a fishbone diagram or an Ishikawa diagram, is a visual tool used to identify and analyze the root causes of a problem. It helps in understanding the relationship between various factors that contribute to a problem. By identifying the root problems, the cause and effect diagram allows for quality improvement from the bottom up, addressing the underlying issues rather than just treating the symptoms. Control charts, on the other hand, are used to monitor and control a process over time, but they do not specifically focus on identifying root causes.
