Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When something really urgent occurs, for example, a production bug it is better to add it as an exception rather than changing the WIP Limits. WIP Limits are used to optimise flow. If you would change WIP Limits due to an urgent production bug the team might miss the chance to improve their flow.
