Explanation

A Retrospective (B) is a structured, formal meeting where the team looks backward at completed work to examine what went well, what went wrong, and - most importantly - why. It is the correct forum for root-cause analysis because it creates a safe, structured environment to dig into process failures, skill gaps, or miscommunications that produced the defects. A Stand-up (A) is a brief daily status check, not an analytical session. A Kickoff (C) occurs at the project's start and sets expectations, not diagnose past failures. A Face-to-face (D) describes a meeting format or modality, not a specific meeting type with a defined purpose for root-cause investigation.
