Explanation

For a one-month Sprint: the Sprint Review is time-boxed to 4 hours, and the Sprint Retrospective is time-boxed to 3 hours. The Sprint Review is longer because it involves external stakeholders and inspects the Increment. The Retrospective is shorter because it is an internal team ceremony focused on process improvement. For shorter Sprints, both events are proportionally shorter. This makes option A (4 and 3 hours respectively) correct, distinguishing it from options B, C, and D which have incorrect pairings.
