Explanation
Information radiators - visible displays like Kanban boards, burndown charts, and sprint backlogs - are central to Agile transparency, and a well-designed Agile workspace must have enough physical (or digital) space to accommodate them so the entire team can stay informed at a glance (B is correct).
A is wrong because Agile teams prioritize collaboration and communication over silence; open spaces that encourage spontaneous conversation are preferred over quiet zones. C is wrong because Agile workspaces are designed around the team, not individuals - hot-desking or shared, neutral stations keep the focus collective rather than personal.
Memory tip: Think "radiator = warmth for the whole team." Just as a radiator heats a shared room, information radiators keep the whole team warm with shared knowledge - and the workspace must make room for them.
