Explanation

Shorter sprints create more frequent opportunities for review and feedback, lowering the commitment threshold for a busy or reluctant stakeholder. If a stakeholder is minimally responsive, they are unlikely to engage for a 6-week sprint but may participate in a 1-week sprint review. Inviting them to daily standups (B) is too much of a time commitment and standups are for the team. Asking for story estimates (C) is outside a stakeholder's typical role. Scheduling more demos within a sprint (D) increases frequency but also increases the ask - shorter sprints achieve the same result more naturally.
