Explanation
Timeboxing is a planning technique where a fixed period of time is allocated for an activity, and the team works within that constraint. The throughput rate - 25 workstations per hour - defines the team's capacity within the timebox. Because the installation window is fixed (the timebox), the BA must decide whether to add resources to meet the full scope or reprioritize requirements (adjust scope) to fit within what the team can accomplish in that fixed time. This characteristic of working within a fixed time boundary and adjusting resources or scope accordingly is the defining trait of timeboxing. A parametric estimate (C) would simply use the rate to calculate total duration - this scenario goes further by using the rate to drive scope and resource decisions within a fixed time window.
