Explanation

The Build-Measure-Learn loop is known as the Agile Learning Cycle (D). It mirrors Scrum's inspect-and-adapt principle: you build a small increment, measure the outcome, and learn from the results to inform the next iteration. Six Sigma (A) focuses on defect reduction. Kaizen (B) is a Japanese philosophy of continuous incremental improvement. DMAIC (C) is a Six Sigma problem-solving methodology (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control)—it is structured and linear, not iterative in the same sense.
