Explanation

An Iteration Retrospective is a team ceremony focused on inspecting and adapting the team's own processes - making team discussion around continuous improvement (B) the defining activity, as the retrospective exists specifically to identify what went well, what didn't, and how to improve.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Estimation of Stories) belongs to Iteration Planning, not the retrospective.
• C (Program-level root cause analysis) describes an Inspect & Adapt (I&A) event at the PI level, not a team-level iteration ceremony.
• D (Gathering stakeholder feedback) is the purpose of the Iteration Review/Demo, where the team shows completed work to stakeholders - a separate ceremony from the retrospective.

Memory tip: Think of the retrospective as the team looking inward (how we work together), while the review looks outward (showing stakeholders what we built). "Retro = reflect & improve" - if the answer involves process improvement within the team, it belongs in the retrospective.
