The question doesn't match the answers given. The given answers refer to what you would DO with defective units ONCE they are identified.
So the real answer is that the defective products are identified by workers who notice that the parts don't fit or function. Then they need another part to keep the line going. The number of defective products expected had better be incorporated into the amount of orders or the line will get stopped, and that is a cardinal sin.

Its not D, as that is for the supplier.
Its not C, becuase defective means that it cannot be sold.
It could be A or B. I have worked in a warehouse and defective inventory was stacked in a particular location. Also, meat products that are defective are colour coded, and you would assume that they would then be stacked in a particular location.
I would go for A.

d. is the only reasonable answer here. JIT has several components, but the principal one involves that no defective product is to be made regardless of orders, inventory levels, or the need to run to full capacity.
All other choices involve continuing to run non-conforming product and segregating it for further disposition.
