The terms "in control" and "out of control" are commonly used to describe processes in statistical process control. When a process is in control, it means that it is operating predictably over time and the output is within acceptable limits. On the other hand, when special causes are present, it means that the process is not behaving predictably and the output is outside of acceptable limits, which is known as an out of control process. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.
