Answer: None of the answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The options to the question are:

A) The control limits are too tight

(B) The control limits are acceptable

(C) The control limits are too loose

(D) None of the answers.

According to the seven run rule, a process is out of control in a control chart in a situation whereby there are seven consecutive data points that all fall on same side of mean. In such case an adjustment has to be made.

In the scenario in the question, none of the answers will be chosen because there has been a violation of the seven run rule as the answers provided are all incorrect.
