Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. Following the plan

Explanation

The answer is Following the plan. The Agile Manifesto explicitly values responding to change over following a plan, so rigid plan adherence is the opposite of an agile principle. Embracing change, keeping the customer continuously involved, and delivering the product incrementally in short iterations are all core agile principles, which rules out options (2), (3) and (4).
