Explanation

Effective stakeholder management in agile requires establishing a shared vision and clear success criteria upfront, and then continuously involving all stakeholders through iteration reviews. This creates alignment, transparency, and trust. Option B (limiting new stakeholders) restricts valuable perspectives and violates the principle of broad engagement. Option C (involving all but not entertaining all expectations) is vague and risks alienating stakeholders-expectations should be managed through transparent prioritization, not dismissal. Option D (communicating issues via email and withholding risk information) undermines transparency and is contrary to agile's collaborative and open communication values.
