Explanation
Kanban is a flow-based methodology without fixed-length sprints; work items are pulled from the backlog based on priority and team capacity. When an important item arrives, the correct action is to reprioritize the backlog so that the most important work rises to the top and is pulled next as capacity opens up. This respects the Kanban workflow and does not disrupt work already in progress. Option C (pivot immediately) would interrupt ongoing work and violate WIP (Work-In-Progress) limits. Option B (commit to the next sprint) is Scrum terminology and not applicable to a Kanban context.
