Selected Answer: D
Backlog grooming is a preventive control associated with software development to address scope creep. Backlog grooming involves regularly reviewing and refining the product backlog to ensure that it contains well-defined, prioritized, and achievable user stories or tasks. By proactively managing and refining the backlog, the development team can prevent scope creep by clarifying requirements, removing ambiguities, and ensuring that the work aligns with the project's goals.

Should be D. Backlog grooming is a preventive control associated with software development that helps address scope creep. Scope creep refers to the uncontrolled expansion of project scope, which can lead to delays, increased costs, and a failure to meet project objectives. Backlog grooming is a practice in agile development methodologies (such as Scrum) where the development team regularly reviews and refines the items in the backlog.

Backlog grooming is a preventive control associated with software development that helps address scope creep. Backlog grooming involves regularly reviewing and refining the product backlog, which contains a prioritized list of features, user stories, and tasks for the project. During backlog grooming, the development team and stakeholders can ensure that the scope of the project remains well-defined and that new requirements or changes are evaluated and incorporated in a controlled manner. The other options listed (A. Iteration retrospective, B. System demo, and C. Iteration review) are related to agile development practices but are more focused on monitoring and improving the development process rather than specifically addressing scope creep
