Answer: B

Explanation:

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is responsible for establishing the rules that ensure fairness and transparency in the development process of codes and standards (I) and administering this development process (IV). The NFPA does not perform laboratory tests to validate the accuracy of published information (II), nor does it enforce compliance with the codes and standards (III). Compliance enforcement is the responsibility of local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ).
