The correct answer is C. Indicating priority of a story. The answer given is C (Indicating priority of a story). However, this conflicts with nearly universal Agile practice - the Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13) is the scale most commonly used in Planning Poker to estimate story points (option D).

Explanation

The answer given is C (Indicating priority of a story). However, this conflicts with nearly universal Agile practice - the Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13) is the scale most commonly used in Planning Poker to estimate story points (option D). The non-linear gaps between numbers reflect increasing uncertainty for larger estimates. Using this sequence to indicate priority is non-standard. If this question appears on an exam, note the context carefully, but be aware that the standard real-world answer is D.
