Explanation

A (Sprint Retrospective) is one of the five mandatory Scrum Events defined in the Scrum Guide - skipping it violates Scrum by definition, making it the only required item listed. B is wrong because the 2020 Scrum Guide removed the requirement to answer three specific questions at the Daily Scrum; teams choose their own structure as long as the goal is met. C is wrong because Sprint Burndown Charts are a popular tool but are never mandated by the Scrum Guide - progress tracking methods are left to the team. D is wrong because User Stories are a common technique for writing Product Backlog Items, but Scrum does not prescribe any specific format for backlog items. Memory tip: remember the five required Scrum Events - Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective, and the Sprint itself - anything outside that list (charts, story formats, specific question formats) is a practice, not a Scrum rule.
