Selected Answer: A

When the team lacks experience with a feature, it is important to allocate time for investigation, research, or experimentation, which is often referred to as a spike in agile terms. This gives the team the necessary knowledge to make a more informed estimation. Once the team understands the work involved, they can proceed with more accurate estimates. Other options are less suitable because: B, C, and D: Wideband Delphi, planning poker, and three-point estimation are estimation techniques that are useful once the team understands the task at hand. However, without prior knowledge or experience with the feature, applying these techniques would not be effective.
