Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Sprint Review
The correct answers are B (Sprint Review) and D (Sprint Retrospective). These are two of the five formal events defined in the Scrum Guide. Sprint Review occurs at the end of each Sprint to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog. Sprint Retrospective is held after Sprint Review to inspect the team's processes and plan improvements. Option A (Pair Programming) is an Extreme Programming (XP) practice, not a formal Scrum event. Option C (Continuous Deployment) is a DevOps practice, not defined in Scrum. Option E (Backlog Refinement) is a common practice in Scrum but is not a time-boxed event in the Scrum Guide; it is considered an ongoing activity.
