• C. The definition of certain quality objectives for sections of the company.
• D. The development of quality education and communication modules for the organization.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the development of a quality vision is usually a broader, strategic task that is often handled by senior management rather than the steering committee.
