Explanation

Iterative delivery (C) is correct because it allows the team to build, get feedback, and adjust requirements between cycles - making it the most adaptive approach when requirements are unstable or changing rapidly. Sequencing phases one after the other (A) locks in decisions early and delays feedback, making it harder to respond to changes. Overlapping phases (B) can speed up delivery but introduces coordination risk and still doesn't inherently build in feedback loops for changing requirements. Delivering everything at once (D) offers zero flexibility - all requirements must be known and fixed upfront, the opposite of what's needed here.

Memory tip: Think of "iterative" as "iterate = revisit" - you keep revisiting and refining the product, which is exactly what rapid change demands. If requirements keep moving, you need a process that moves with them.
