Explanation
Acceptance criteria are an intrinsic part of the user story itself - they define the conditions under which a story is considered 'done' and accepted. As stories are refined during backlog grooming and development, the acceptance criteria should be updated directly within those existing user stories (Option C). Option A (adding more stories) doesn't address acceptance criteria - it only adds scope. Option B (sprint retrospectives) is a process improvement ceremony, not a place to manage requirements. Option D (updating tasks in a project plan) reflects a waterfall approach and is not where acceptance criteria belong in agile.
