The Sprint length should be:

Question

Options

• AShort enough to keep the business risk acceptable to the Product Owner.
• BShort enough to be able to synchronize the development work with other business events.
• CNo more than one month.
• DAll of these answers are correct.

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  92% (47)

Explanation

Option D is correct because the Scrum Guide defines Sprint length constraints using all three criteria simultaneously - none of them alone is the complete rule. A Sprint must be short enough to limit business risk (A), short enough to stay synchronized with business events (B), and capped at a maximum of one month (C); the official guidance combines all three as co-equal constraints on Sprint duration.

There are no "distractors" here - A, B, and C are each individually true statements drawn directly from Scrum's definition of a Sprint, which is why D ("all of the above") is the only complete answer.

Memory tip: Think of Sprint length as a three-legged stool - risk control, business synchronization, and the one-month hard cap. Remove any leg and the stool (and your exam answer) falls over. When you see all three listed as separate choices alongside "all of the above," that's a signal the Scrum Guide treats them as a unified definition, not competing options.
