Explanation
In Scrum, Sprint Planning is a time-boxed event measured in hours - specifically, capped at 8 hours for a one-month Sprint, and proportionally shorter for shorter Sprints (e.g., a two-week Sprint gets a 4-hour time-box). Weeks (A) and Months (B) are far too coarse a unit for a single planning session and are used instead to describe Sprint length or release cadence. Minutes (D) would be insufficient to cover the scope of planning work, which involves selecting backlog items and creating a Sprint plan. A helpful memory tip: think "8 hours max = 1 day of planning" - Scrum keeps planning bounded in hours to preserve time for actual delivery.
