Explanation

Agile Development was formally introduced in the Agile Manifesto, published in February 2001 by 17 software practitioners who gathered in Snowbird, Utah - making option B correct. Option A is a distractor; while project management frameworks have guiding principles, there is no document called "Project Management Principles" that introduced Agile. Option C, Lean Process Improvement, predates and influenced Agile but is a separate methodology rooted in manufacturing (Toyota Production System), not the origin of the Agile term. Option D is wrong because Scrum is one of many frameworks that implements Agile principles - it existed before the Manifesto and does not define Agile itself.

Memory tip: Think "Agile = Manifesto" - just as the U.S. Declaration of Independence officially declared independence, the Agile Manifesto officially declared (and named) Agile development.
