Explanation

In Scrum, Sprint Planning is time-boxed to a maximum of 8 hours for a one-month Sprint (and proportionally shorter for shorter Sprints), making Hours (C) the correct unit of measurement as defined in the Scrum Guide. Weeks (A) and Months (B) are far too long - Sprint Planning is a focused, bounded event, not an extended process, and using those units would imply planning takes longer than the Sprint itself. Minutes (D) is too granular; while minutes compose hours, the Scrum framework formally expresses this time-box in hours.

Memory tip: Associate the number 8 with Sprint Planning - an 8-hour cap for a full one-month Sprint, measured in the same unit as a standard workday: hours.
