A   Use of technical manuals

D

Explanation:
An audit committee is a committee of non-executive directors of a client company. This has nothing to do with quality management within the audit firm. Technical manuals (A), standardized audit documentation (B), and continuing professional development (C) are all components of an audit firm’s quality management system. Thus, D is the correct answer.
