Explanation

According to the Scrum Guide, the Sprint Review is time-boxed to a maximum of 4 hours for a one-month Sprint. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter proportionally (e.g., a 2-week Sprint typically has a 2-hour Sprint Review). Option A ('as long as needed') violates the time-boxing principle central to Scrum. Option B (2 hours for a monthly Sprint) is actually the time-box for the Sprint Retrospective, not the Sprint Review - a common point of confusion. Option D ('4 hours and longer as needed') is incorrect because time-boxes are fixed maximums, not minimums with extensions. Option E (1 day) far exceeds the prescribed time-box. Keeping the Sprint Review time-boxed ensures the team stays focused on demonstrating the Increment and inspecting progress toward the Product Goal.
