Feedforward control is a mechanism of monitoring inputs rather than outputs to provide information about performance deficiencies, allowing the corrective action to take place before the actual process begins. It is different from concurrent control, which is also known as feedback control and applies corrective actions during the process. Option A is incorrect as it confuses feedforward control with concurrent control. Option B is incorrect as feedforward control provides information before the actual process begins, whereas gathering information about performance deficiencies after they occur is the role of feedback control. Option C is incorrect as it defines the term control process rather than feedforward control.
