Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Scrum Master
Options B, C, and D are correct. The Scrum Guide defines three roles on a Scrum Team: the Scrum Master (B), the Product Owner (C), and the Development Team (D). Option A (Customer) is not a defined Scrum role; customers are stakeholders external to the team. Option E (Project Manager) is also not a Scrum role, as traditional project management responsibilities are distributed among the Scrum roles.
