Okay, let's see. The stakeholders have different views on the rain probability threshold. I think I need to dig deeper into their risk tolerance and appetite to find the right approach.

I'm pretty confident about this one. The Scrum Guide states that only the Product Owner can cancel a Sprint, so I'm going with option C.

Well, if you ask me, the risk manager should perform a sensitivity analysis of the risk. That way, they can really get a grip on the situation and make an informed decision.
