Explanation

Agile brings predictability to planning through early visibility - by using short iterations (sprints), velocity tracking, and burndown charts, stakeholders can see real progress data early and forecast future delivery with increasing confidence. Option A is a distractor because customer reviews address transparency, not predictability itself - you can review often and still have no idea when you'll finish. Option B is wrong because Agile intentionally distributes planning responsibility across the whole team, not concentrating it in the Product Owner. Option C describes a characteristic of Agile teams but explains how they work, not how predictability is achieved in planning.

Memory tip: Think "predict = data over time" - early visibility gives you actual metrics (velocity, capacity) to extrapolate from, which is the definition of a predictable plan.
