--explanation--

Miss means to fail to attend or participate in something. For example:

I missed the meeting because I was stuck in traffic. - This means that you spent too long in traffic and this caused a delay to get to work.

A design sprint is a time-boxed, collaborative process where a team works on solving a design problem or developing a prototype within a short period, usually a few days. For example:

The team completed a design sprint to test the new user interface concept. This means the team participated in this collaborative process to test the concept.

In this context, Maria couldn't attend the cybersecurity workshop because she was actively participating in a design sprint workshop.
