Question
The advantage of face-to-face collaboration emphasized in eXtreme Programming (XP) is that it:
Options
- Aallows team members to use common language in their design and code.

- Dallows team members to correct some mistakes on the fly.

Explanation
XP strongly emphasizes co-location and face-to-face communication because direct interaction eliminates the latency, ambiguity, and misunderstandings that arise from written or asynchronous communication. Immediate verbal and non-verbal feedback allows the team to resolve questions instantly. Option A relates to ubiquitous language (a Domain-Driven Design concept). Option B is incorrect - face-to-face communication speeds up feedback, not delays it. Option D (correcting mistakes on the fly) is a benefit of pair programming specifically, not face-to-face collaboration in general.
