Answer: A, E,F,G

Explanation:

Empiricism will be affected first. Having Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective every 60 days means the Product will likely deviate and the team will improve less. Transparency is lowered as a whole. Obligatory "the team is no longer doing Scrum." Sprints are fixed length events of one month or less to create consistency. The other issues listed may occur, but not necessarily.
