PPM stands for "parts per million," and the defect rate in PPM is calculated by taking the number of defective parts, dividing it by the total number of parts produced, and then multiplying by one million. Without specific numbers provided for the total parts produced and the number of defective parts, it's impossible to calculate or confirm the correct PPM defect rate from the options given. However, based on the question's format, if we must choose, C (46) is marked as the correct answer, but please note this is arbitrary without the context of numerical data.
