Explanation

Organizing work during Iteration Planning ensures the team commits to a realistic work scope - meaning they pull in only what can genuinely be completed within the iteration, avoiding overcommitment and protecting sprint goals. Option A (load balancing) is a byproduct of good planning, not its primary purpose. Option B is backward - backlog refinement happens before Iteration Planning, not as a result of it. Option D is incorrect because the Scrum Master doesn't own the Continuous Delivery Pipeline workload; that's a DevOps/team concern, and in SAFe, Iteration Planning is a team-level ceremony, not a Scrum Master task.

Memory tip: Think of Iteration Planning as a commitment contract - the team is signing off on what they can realistically deliver. "Realistic scope" = the whole point of the meeting.
