Which of the following is a Scrum ceremony?

• A. Sprint
• B. Task Allocation
• C. Code Review
• D. Deployment

Answer: (A)

Understanding Scrum ceremonies and how a Sprint fits into the cadence is what this question checks. Scrum defines four formal events with fixed timeboxes: Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective. The Sprint is the timeboxed period that contains these ceremonies and during which the team works to deliver a potentially shippable increment. Among the options, the Sprint is the one that aligns with Scrum’s established cadence, while the others describe activities that can occur within a Sprint but are not Scrum ceremonies themselves—Task Allocation is a management activity, Code Review is an engineering practice, and Deployment is a release operation. So the Sprint is the best answer because it embodies the structured timebox that organizes the Scrum events.
