Explanation

Transparency of an increment is enhanced by completing all work required to meet the Definition of Done (A). The Definition of Done is Scrum's primary mechanism for ensuring a shared, clear understanding of what has actually been completed. When an increment meets DoD, its state is unambiguous to all stakeholders. Daily progress reports (B) add communication overhead but do not ensure the increment itself is transparent. Tracking undone work separately (C) reduces transparency by hiding incomplete work. Updating electronic tools (D) is a practice that may support visibility but is not the fundamental driver of increment transparency.
