Explanation

In traditional project management, the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) decomposes scope into deliverables and activities. In Agile, the equivalent decomposition is a Feature Breakdown Structure (FBS), which breaks down a product into themes, features, and user stories. The FBS is hierarchical and supports iterative delivery. A Product Roadmap (B) is a high-level timeline, not a decomposition structure. A Product Breakdown Structure (C) is more of a traditional concept. A Sprint Backlog (D) is a sprint-level artifact, not a product-level decomposition.
