Description

The list of work to be done on the project — reviewed each sprint, with priorities and risks assigned; customers can introduce new requirements at the beginning of each sprint
A short, focused meeting where all team members share their progress since the last meeting, problems that have arisen, and what is planned for the following day — enabling short-term replanning

Correct Answer

(2) Daily stand-up meeting,A short, focused meeting where all team members share their progress since the last meeting, problems that have arisen, and what is planned for the following day — enabling short-term replanning

Explanation

Product backlog: the list of work to be done — reviewed at sprint start, priorities and risks assigned, customer can add new requirements. Daily stand-up: all team members share progress, problems, and next-day plans — everyone knows what's going on and can replan short-term work. There is no top-down direction from the Scrum master.
