Explanation

Agile organizes work into short, time-boxed iterations called sprints (1–4 weeks), at the end of which a working increment of software is delivered. Waterfall is a sequential, phase-gated model with no concept of repeating iterations - each phase happens once. Option A is reversed: Agile values working software over comprehensive documentation (per the Agile Manifesto). Option B is also reversed: Waterfall delivers at the end of a linear process; Agile delivers incrementally. Option D is incorrect - Agile delivers working software each sprint but does not necessarily deploy to production immediately (that is Continuous Deployment, a separate practice).
