Explanation

Retrospectives are the core agile mechanism for continuous process improvement. When recurring problems surface, the team collectively inspects their process and adapts - this is a foundational agile principle. Sharing responsibility means no single person owns the fix; the whole team commits to improvement actions. Option B (work harder) ignores root cause analysis. Option C (discuss privately with the product owner) bypasses team ownership and transparency. Option D (team-building exercises) addresses trust but not the specific operational problems causing repeated failures.
