The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from 161 countries. Option A is incorrect as the ISO is not an American organization. Option B is partially correct, as ISO 9000:2007 does provide a set of standardized requirements for a quality management system, but it is not the only set of standards produced by the ISO. Option C is incorrect as ISO issued the 9000 series of business standards in 1987, but has since updated and expanded its standards.
