Which of the following statements is true about the Product Vision? (choose the best answer)

In agile product management, the Product Vision describes the future state of the product and serves as a guiding light for the Scrum Team. However, because Scrum is founded on empiricism, the Product Vision is not a static, unchangeable document. As the Scrum Team delivers Increments, gathers market feedback, and learns more about customer needs and behaviors, the vision must adapt to reflect this new empirical data. This evolutionary approach ensures that the product remains relevant and continues to maximize value in a complex, changing environment. While the Product Owner is accountable for the vision (often articulated as the Product Goal), it naturally evolves through continuous discovery and validated learning.

B. The Product Owner is solely accountable for developing and explicitly communicating the Product Goal/Vision, not the entire Scrum Team, although the PO may collaborate with them.
C. A Product Vision does not have to be completely free from strategic technology choices; in many tech-driven products, the strategic technology is a core differentiator of the vision.
D. Since options B and C are demonstrably incorrect, "All of the above" cannot be the right answer.
E. Since option A is the correct answer, "None of the above" is incorrect.
