Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Use a fully predictive approach to ensure the deadline is met
Why it's wrong here
Predictive may not handle evolving requirements well.

Plan the overall schedule and budget predictively, but develop requirements iteratively
Why this is correct
This is a common hybrid approach.
- ✗
Use a fully agile approach and adjust the deadline as needed
Why it's wrong here
