Explanation

A release planning session in Agile produces the artifacts needed to coordinate delivery across multiple iterations. The primary outputs are: risks identified during planning, action items that need follow-up, dependencies between stories or teams, and the Release Backlog (the set of stories targeted for the release). While a Prioritized Product Backlog and iteration velocity estimates may be inputs or discussed, they are not the primary outputs of release planning. Answer D most accurately captures the tangible deliverables from a release planning session.
