Explanation
The Definition of Done (DoD) is a shared checklist of criteria that every user story must satisfy before it is considered complete. It is a team-level agreement - not specific to any single story - covering process standards such as effort estimation, required demos, and deployment documentation. Acceptance Criteria (C) are story-specific conditions the solution must meet to satisfy the user's need, not process gates. Assumptions (B) document what the team believes to be true without verification, not completion standards. Because these three requirements (effort assigned, demo completed, deployment documented) apply universally to every story, the DoD is the correct artifact.
