It was established in 1965 that is not earlier than TJC. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as “College of American Pathologists”.

It was established in 1946, and it is a member-based physician organization with 18,000 board-certified pathologists. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Hence, options a., b., and c. are incorrect.

The largest and oldest health care standard-setting body in the United States is “The Joint Commission (TJC)”.
