An Increment is a concrete step toward the Product Goal.

Each Increment must meet the Definition of Done, ensuring it is usable and provides value, regardless of whether it is immediately released.

B. Estimable:"Estimable" applies to Product Backlog items but is not a characteristic of a done Increment.

D. Released:While an Increment may be released, it is not a required characteristic. It simply must be in a usable state.

C. Facilitating the Daily Scrum:This is a responsibility of the Developers, and the Scrum Master may only facilitate if explicitly requested.
