Definitely B. Without that, the team struggles.

A is tempting, but prioritizing is more for the Product Owner.

D sounds wrong. Scrum Masters don’t manage the team.

The Scrum Master is like a professional problem-solver, always on the lookout for any issues that could slow down the team.

I feel like the Scrum Master works closely with the Product Owner, but I can't remember if that means they develop the backlog together or just support each other.

I’m a bit confused because I thought the Scrum Master also had a role in managing the team, but that might be more about facilitating than managing.

I remember a practice question that asked about the Scrum Master's responsibilities, and I think it was similar to this one. I feel like option B makes the most sense.

I think the Scrum Master's main role is to help the team by removing obstacles, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only thing they do.

I'm pretty confident the Scrum Master's main job is to remove impediments for the team. That's the core of their role, so I'm going with option B.

The Scrum Master is not responsible for managing the Development Team, so that rules out option D. I'm leaning towards B, but I'll double-check the Scrum Guide to be sure.

Option D is just plain wrong. The Scrum Master is not the boss of the Development Team, they're the team's coach and cheerleader.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know the Scrum Master has a facilitator role, but I'm not confident which of these options is the primary responsibility. I'll have to think it through.
