Explanation

Option A is correct because a Review Session during Refinement gives the Business Visionary visibility into products in progress, allowing the Solution Development Team to confirm they are building the right things and course-correct while there is still time left in the Timebox - this is entirely consistent with DSDM/AgilePM's principle of iterative delivery with active business involvement.

Why B is wrong: B describes something resembling a daily stand-up or progress reporting activity, not a Review Session; Review Sessions focus on assessing the product itself, not individual status updates.

Why C is wrong: C argues "No," but the reasoning it begins with (early and frequent visibility) actually supports having Reviews - it contradicts itself, making it an implausible distractor.

Why D is wrong: D falsely claims only Solution Development Team members may attend Review Sessions; in DSDM, business roles like the Business Visionary are expected to attend and are central to the review process.

Memory tip: Think of the Business Visionary as the keeper of the vision - if they're not in the room reviewing the product, who decides if it matches that vision? In DSDM, business roles belong in reviews, not outside them.
