Explanation

Sprint Planning is time-boxed to a maximum of 8 hours for a one-month Sprint. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually proportionally shorter - for example, a two-week Sprint would typically have a 4-hour Sprint Planning. Option A describes Product Backlog refinement capacity, not Sprint Planning. Option B refers to a practice that may occur during planning but is not the time-box definition. Option C (4 hours) would apply to shorter Sprints but is not the defined maximum.
