Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Direct material costs are not considered categories of quality costs as they are simply costs incurred in acquiring the raw materials needed for production, and are not directly related to ensuring the quality of the final product. The other three choices, prevention costs, appraisal costs, and external failure costs, are all categories of quality costs that relate to the measures taken to prevent defects, detect defects early, and correct defects after they have occurred, respectively.
