Explanation

A core principle of Agile is that teams are self-organizing and self-directing, meaning they can plan, prioritize, and execute work autonomously without requiring a traditional project manager to assign and direct tasks. Option A is incorrect because Agile teams are not typically found in strictly projectized organizations, and the Scrum Master does not have 'full authority' - the Scrum Master is a servant-leader, not a command authority. Option B is incorrect because self-organization means the team provides its own structure internally. Option C is partially true but incomplete - while Agile teams do pull work from the product backlog, it implies external guidance is entirely absent, which is an oversimplification. Option D accurately captures the defining characteristic: Agile teams are empowered to make decisions and act without needing a project manager to direct every action.
