On a burndown chart, the ideal trend line shows remaining work decreasing steadily to zero by the end of the iteration. When the actual remaining work line stays above the ideal line — meaning less work is being completed than planned — the team is trending behind schedule. If the actual line never reaches zero by the sprint end date, the team did not complete all planned work.

The other choices describe scenarios where the actual line is at or below the ideal line, which would indicate being on track or ahead of schedule.
