Explanation
When a user story is too large or complex to be concise, the standard agile technique is story splitting — breaking the story into smaller, independently deliverable slices and prioritizing the most valuable parts first. This aligns with the INVEST criteria (Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, Testable). Handing the story to a more experienced team member (A) misses a coaching opportunity and does not build the new member's capability. Deferring to the retrospective (C) unnecessarily delays progress. Picking a different story (D) avoids the problem rather than resolving it.
