I think pushing back as in option D might not be the best move. I remember we learned that the scrum master has a responsibility to support the team, but I’m not entirely sure how that plays out in this situation.

I feel like option C could be a good approach, but I wonder if prioritizing impediments might just add more stress to the team. I think we talked about this in our last session, but I can't recall the best way to handle it.

This question reminds me of a practice scenario where the scrum master was also criticized for not facilitating better communication. I think option B makes sense, but I’m a bit confused about how to determine when an impediment is significant enough.

I remember discussing the role of the scrum master in our last study group, and I think they really should be proactive in removing impediments. But I'm not sure if the project manager should step in directly.
