Why each option

Agile methodology is valued for its iterative approach that allows teams to respond to evolving requirements throughout the project lifecycle.

AEnsures the project stays on schedule

Staying on schedule is a concern for all project methodologies, and Agile's flexible scope can actually make strict schedule adherence more challenging, not easier.

BReadily adapts to new and changing requirementsCorrect

Agile uses short iterative cycles and continuous feedback loops that allow the project team to incorporate new or changing requirements at any point, making it fundamentally adaptive by design. Unlike Waterfall, Agile does not lock in requirements upfront, so scope changes are expected and welcomed rather than resisted. This flexibility is the defining advantage of Agile over more rigid methodologies.

CProvides the project sponsor with additional information

Providing the project sponsor with additional information is not a methodology-specific advantage - all methodologies include stakeholder communication practices.

DProvides structure for newer, inexperienced project teams

Agile's self-organizing team model is generally better suited to experienced teams; Waterfall's defined phases and structured processes are more appropriate for less experienced teams.
