Explanation
Agile embraces progressive elaboration - detailed requirements and plans emerge iteratively over time rather than being defined upfront. Option B is correct because the practitioner should educate and set realistic expectations: inception is about alignment on vision, goals, and high-level scope, not detailed specifications. Option A would produce documentation that will likely change and waste effort. Option C is too absolute and dismissive - some documentation is produced in agile, just at the right level at the right time. Option D delegates to the team without addressing the stakeholder's misunderstanding of agile's approach to early-stage planning.
