ScrumStudy SMC Exam - Topic 3 Question 121 Discussion

Which one of the following statements about the history of Scrum is NOT correct?
B) Takeuchi and Nonaka proposed that product development should be like a sequential relay race.
A) The idea of Scrum was derived from a ''rugby'' approach, in which ''a team tries to go the distance as a unit, passing the ball back and forth.''
C) Scrum was based on a flexible and all-inclusive product development strategy where the development team works as a unit to reach a common goal.
D) Takeuchi and Nonaka based their approach on manufacturing case studies from various industries. : Takeuchi and Nonaka proposed that product development should not be like a sequential relay race, but rather should be analogous to the game of rugby where the team works together, passing the ball back and forth as they move as a unit down the field. The rugby concept of a ''Scrum'' (where a group of players form together to restart the game) was introduced in this article to describe the authors' proposal that product development should involve ''moving the Scrum downfield''.

I vaguely recall that Scrum was influenced by Lean principles, but I can't remember if that's relevant to this question.
