Explanation

Lean-Agile Leaders (as defined in SAFe) are servant leaders who create conditions for teams to thrive - they protect teams from disruption (C), push decision-making authority down to those with the most context (D), and model continuous improvement by prioritizing lifelong learning (E). These three behaviors reflect the shift away from command-and-control leadership toward enabling and empowering teams.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because "establishing objectives for managing" describes traditional management thinking - Lean-Agile Leaders lead systems, not people through directives.
• B is incorrect because developing solutions is the team's responsibility; leaders create the environment and remove impediments, they don't do the building themselves.

Memory tip: Think "PDL" - Protect, Decentralize, Learn. Lean-Agile Leaders get out of the way so teams can succeed, rather than directing or doing the work themselves.
