Explanation

Option B is correct because organizational agility is fundamentally defined as an organization's capacity to sense and respond rapidly to environmental changes - it is a strategic, organization-wide capability encompassing people, processes, and technology, not limited to any single department or role.

Option A is wrong because agility is the opposite of producing legacy applications - legacy systems are slow, rigid, and outdated, which directly contradicts the concept of agility.

Option C is wrong because organizational agility is a strategic advantage, not merely a tactical one; it involves long-term adaptability across the entire organization, not just short-term operational responses.

Option D is wrong because agility is not the exclusive domain of IT project managers replacing slow systems - that's far too narrow and role-specific; true organizational agility is an enterprise-wide attribute.

Memory tip: Think of agility as "responsiveness at scale" - if the answer focuses on a single role (IT managers), a single artifact (legacy apps), or mislabels it as tactical, it's wrong. The correct answer always frames agility as a broad organizational state of responsiveness.
