Explanation
Passing all tests verifies technical correctness, but does not validate that the product meets the customer's actual expectations. An end-of-phase demonstration (sprint review) should have been conducted to show the working product to the customer or stakeholders and gather feedback before release. This is a core agile practice for validating that the right product was built. A sponsor approval (A) is a governance step, not validation. Reviewing requirements (B) checks completeness but not customer satisfaction. A retrospective (D) assesses the process, not the product.
