Agile principles emphasize collaboration, flexibility, and delivering customer value over strict adherence to processes or individual achievements. Rewarding individual performance or focusing on fixed goals can create silos and hinder collaboration, which is key to Agile. Encouraging specialization can also limit cross-functional teamwork, reducing agility. All the behaviors mentioned can slow down or impede an Agile culture by promoting practices that are at odds with Agile values of teamwork, adaptability, and customer collaboration.

I remember a practice question about fixed-scope goals being a barrier to agile, so I might lean towards option E.

I think rewarding outstanding individual performance could be a problem, but I'm not sure if it's the only one.
