In a Scrum project, the responsibility for determining time estimates falls on the project team as a whole. This process occurs during the sprint planning meetings where the team collaboratively estimates the effort required for each task or user story. The Scrum Master facilitates this process, but the actual estimation is performed by the team members who will be doing the work. This collective approach ensures that estimates are realistic and based on the team's understanding and agreement.

I feel like the Scrum master facilitates the process, but it’s definitely the project team that actually makes the estimates.

I’m a bit confused because I thought the sponsor had some say in the project timeline, but I guess they’re not the ones doing the work.

I remember a practice question where the team had to estimate their own work, so I feel like option C is correct.

I think the project team is responsible for the time estimates, but I'm not entirely sure if the Scrum master has any input in that.
