D seems unlikely, + is a quantifier, right?

I’m leaning towards A, but I keep second-guessing myself about whether it could mean zero or more instead.

I feel like the + could also be confused with * which means zero or more, but I think in this case it’s one or more.

I'm not totally sure about the + symbol here. Is it matching the preceding character set zero or more times, or just one or more times? I'll have to think this through carefully before selecting an answer.

The + symbol usually means "one or more" of the preceding character or character set. So in this case, it would match "d" followed by one or more of the letters "a", "e", or "i", and then another "d". I'm pretty confident that option A is the right answer.

I think the + symbol in this grep regular expression means that the preceding character set [aei] should match one or more times. So option A seems like the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the meaning of the + symbol in this context. I'll need to review my notes on regular expressions to be sure I understand it correctly.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. The key is understanding how the Definition of Done should work when multiple Scrum Teams are involved. I'll go with the answer that best reflects that.

Okay, I think I've got this. The Scrum Master's job is to facilitate the Scrum process and ensure the team is following the Scrum practices. In this case, the Scrum Master should ensure the product owner is informed about the status of the requirements, either through the information radiator or a sprint planning meeting.

Selecting option D would be a bit of a 'plus' sized mistake. The + symbol here is a quantifier, not a literal character to be matched.

Option C is tempting, but the + symbol is not for zero or one matches. That would be the ? symbol. The + is clearly for one or more matches.

I was about to choose option B, but then I realized that zero or more matches wouldn't make sense for this expression. The + symbol is definitely for one or more matches.
