Explanation

In SAFe, Relentless Improvement is one of the core competencies of the Lean Enterprise, focused on creating a culture of continuous learning - it specifically includes optimizing the whole (C) to avoid local optimizations that hurt the system, applying Lean problem-solving tools and techniques (D) like root cause analysis and A3 thinking, and reflecting at key Milestones (E) such as Inspect & Adapt events to drive improvement.

A (Hold people accountable) is wrong because SAFe's Lean-Agile mindset emphasizes systemic improvement over blame - problems are usually caused by the system, not individuals. B (Hold employee reviews) is wrong because annual or periodic performance reviews are a traditional management practice, not a SAFe principle; SAFe favors fast feedback through team events like retrospectives, not HR reviews.

Memory tip: Think of the 3 C's of SAFe Relentless Improvement - Consider the whole system, Craft solutions with Lean tools, Checkpoint at milestones (Inspect & Adapt). If an answer sounds like traditional HR management (reviews, accountability), it's likely a distractor.
