The AQL (Acceptable Quality Level), LTPD (Lot Tolerance Percent Defective), α (Producer's Risk) and β (Consumer's Risk) are all factors that go into determining the sample size (n) and acceptance number (c) for an acceptance sampling plan. Therefore, option B is correct. Options A, C, D and E are incorrect as they either incorrectly state that n and c determine the AQL or that α and β determine the AQL.
