The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product, and prioritization is key to that responsibility. Even though losing a short-term business opportunity may seem detrimental, the Product Owner's long-term focus is more in line with the Agile principle of delivering sustainable value. Supporting the Product Owner's prioritization fosters respect for the role and the overall Agile process.

This is a tricky one. All the options sound plausible. I'll need to really focus on understanding the core purpose and structure of cross-functional teams to determine which one is the outlier.
