2
B
2.4
C
3
D
3.4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Processes that operate with “six sigma quality” over the short term are assumed to produce long-term defect levels below 3.4 defects per million opportunities (DPMO). The 3.4 dpmo is based on a “shift” of ± 1.5 sigma explained by Mikel Harry. This figure is based on the tolerance in the height of a stack of discs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Six Sigma quality – Six Sigma performance produces a defect-free product 99.99966% of the time; allowing only 3.4 errors per one million opportunities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Six Sigma is often wrongly defined as “3.4 defects per million products, ‘’ when in fact, Six Sigma is actually defined as 3.4 defects per million opportunities (DPMO). Six Sigma’s goal is to improve all processes to that level or better.
