Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Special/assignable causes of variation are non-random factors that can be attributed to specific events or factors outside of the normal operation of the process, such as machine breakdowns or material variation. These causes can be identified and eliminated, while common causes of variation are inherent to the process and cannot be fully eliminated.
