Explanation

Note: This question contains a formatting error - the answer choices appear corrupted. The three empirical pillars of Scrum are Transparency, Inspection, and Adaptation. The activity described - frequently reviewing artifacts and progress toward the Sprint Goal to detect undesirable variances - represents the Inspection pillar. Inspection means regularly examining Scrum artifacts and team progress so that problems are caught early. The marked correct answer (A) corresponds to what should be labeled 'Inspection' in the original question. Adaptation (C) is a separate pillar that describes adjusting the process when inspection reveals a problem.
