Explanation:

Agile retrospectives focus on the process, practices, and tools, rather than personal critiques. The effectiveness of a retrospective lies in its ability to foster a positive, constructive environment where the team can discuss what worked well, what didn't, and how to improve going forward. Focusing on an individual's perceived shortcomings, such as being 'disruptive and lazy' (Option C), does not align with the Agile principle of building projects around motivated individuals and trusting them to get the job done. It could lead to a negative atmosphere, reducing the team's willingness to openly share and collaborate on solutions. Instead, retrospectives should concentrate on actionable items that can lead to process improvements, such as addressing frequent automation test failures, discrepancies in effort estimations, and delays in the build process, as mentioned in options A, B, and D respectively.
