Explanation

A foundational principle of agile is continuous stakeholder engagement. In adaptive/agile life cycles, customers and sponsors actively collaborate with the team throughout the project - participating in iteration reviews, backlog refinement, sprint planning, and ongoing prioritization. This continuous feedback loop enables the team to adapt scope based on evolving needs and deliver maximum value. Option A (only during initiation) and Option D (only during phase/deliverable reviews) both describe limited engagement, which is characteristic of predictive/waterfall projects. Option B (minimal involvement) contradicts agile principles, where the customer (often embodied as a product owner) is deeply engaged at all times.
