Haha, yeah Coletta's got a point. Those stakeholders, always keeping us on our toes! But seriously, C is the way to go here. Gotta keep the Scrum process clean and efficient.

I'm leaning towards C as well. Seems like the most logical way to handle the situation. Although, I do wonder if the Product Owner will try to sneak in some last-minute changes again. Gotta watch out for those stakeholders, am I right?

Option B seems reasonable too, but I'm not sure the Product Owner should just reject the deliverable without adding it to the backlog. Gotta keep that transparency, right?

I agree with Azzie. The Scrum team shouldn't be expected to rework an already developed deliverable in the same Sprint. It's better to handle it as a new requirement in the backlog.

I'm not sure about that. Option D also seems valid, as we need to consider the team's bandwidth.

Interesting scenario. I think the best approach here is to go with option C - the deliverable should be rejected due to the changed requirements, and then added to the Prioritized Product Backlog with the new Acceptance Criteria for a future Sprint.
