The purpose of a p-chart is to monitor the proportion of defective items in a process. Therefore, the lower-control limit (LCL) represents the minimum acceptable level of defects in the process. As the LCL gets closer to zero defects, it means that the process is producing fewer defective items and is more consistent. This is desirable as it ensures that the process is meeting the quality standards and producing products that meet customer requirements. Hence, the best choice is A, which represents zero defects.
