Explanation

Demonstrate control is correct because this principle is specifically about making project management visible, measurable, and actively managed - which includes conducting structured reviews to identify what went wrong and ensuring corrective action is taken. Scheduling reviews at defined checkpoints within each Timebox to prevent the recurrence of Timebox A's mistakes is a textbook example of demonstrating that the process is under control.

A (Focus on the business need) is wrong because that principle governs prioritization and ensuring effort delivers business value - it's not about internal process correction or quality reviews.

B (Deliver on time) is wrong because timeboxing and meeting deadlines is the mechanism for on-time delivery, not the reason for scheduling retrospective reviews to fix mistakes.

C (Build incrementally from firm foundations) is wrong because that principle concerns iterative delivery and ensuring each increment is stable before building further - it's about the what of delivery, not the how of managing and correcting your process.

Memory tip: Think of "Demonstrate control" as the audit trail principle - if a project manager needs to show stakeholders that problems are being caught and fixed, they schedule reviews. Whenever you see formal checkpoints, lessons-learned sessions, or mistake-prevention mechanisms, think control = visibility + accountability.
