Explanation

The three correctly named Extreme Programming (XP) practices are: Test-Driven Development (TDD) - not 'test-driven design'; Refactoring - not 'reforecasting'; and Pair Programming - not 'peer programming.' TDD means writing a failing test before writing production code. Refactoring means improving code structure without changing behavior. Pair programming means two developers working together at one workstation. All three terms have specific, established names in XP literature.
