Explanation

All four listed Scrum ceremonies - Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective - are time-boxed events, making E (All of the above) correct. Time-boxing means each event has a maximum fixed duration: Sprint Planning (up to 8 hours for a one-month Sprint), Daily Scrum (15 minutes), Sprint Review (up to 4 hours), and Sprint Retrospective (up to 3 hours). There are no distractors to dismiss here because A through D are not wrong individually - they are all correct, which is precisely why E is the best answer. The Sprint itself is also time-boxed (typically 1–4 weeks), so in Scrum, every event is time-boxed by design - this is a core principle, not an exception.

Memory tip: Think of Scrum as a clock - every meeting has a hard stop. If you remember "Scrum = time-boxed everything," you'll never second-guess whether a Scrum event has a maximum duration.
