Explanation
In Agile EVM, progress is measured at the Release level because EVM metrics (Planned Value, Earned Value, Actual Cost) are most meaningful when tracking cumulative progress toward a releasable product increment over a longer time horizon. Measuring at the Task level (A) is too granular and unstable. Measuring at the Iteration level (B) is useful for velocity but not for formal EVM. Measuring at the Product level (C) is too broad. The Release provides the right granularity to plan the budget baseline, track earned value, and forecast completion.
