Hmm, I'm conflicted between A) Warranty cost and D) Appraisal cost. Appraisal costs are also related to external failures, right? This is tricky!

But warranty cost is incurred after the product has failed externally, so it makes sense for it to be considered an external failure cost.

I disagree, I believe D) Appraisal cost is the external failure cost.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is A) Warranty cost. External failure costs are incurred after the product is delivered to the customer.
