The Definition of Done serves three key purposes: guiding the Development Team in forecasting how many items to select (A), since they need to know what 'complete' means to estimate effort; creating a shared understanding of completion (B), ensuring everyone agrees on what 'done' looks like; and increasing transparency (E), so stakeholders have a clear, unambiguous view of progress.

Option D is misleading - DoD defines quality criteria for completed work, not a checklist of tasks to complete before the Sprint ends.
