C sounds like too much micromanagement to me.

Wait, can the Scrum Master really just teach them? Seems odd.

I recall that daily visits to inspect alignment could be too much micromanagement. The teams should be self-organizing, right?

I feel like collecting tasks into a consolidated plan might create more confusion than clarity. Isn't that more of a project manager's role?

I remember discussing how important it is for teams to collaborate, but I'm not sure if the Scrum Master should be the one to teach them that.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to review my notes on IP header fields and how they could be used to detect suspicious network activity.

I'm not totally sure about this one. The wording is a bit tricky. I'll have to think it through carefully and make sure I understand the nuances of how capability and capacity analysis is applied in each process.

B, for sure. The developers should be able to figure it out themselves. The Scrum Master is not there to hold their hands, but to guide them. Unless, of course, the teams are made up of 'monkeys with typewriters'.
