Unsure where this question originated from, or what is meant by "in between" in some of the choices. This is certainly not the clearest question posed about what a Scrum Master does.

Did you create this question yourself, Jira? I ask because of the many misspellings and incorrect grammar present in the choices.

I can say with certainty that choices from E through J are definitely not Scrum Master responsibilities. Option C is also incorrect.

Regarding option A, the Scrum Master definitely works to remove impediments that block the team from reaching the Sprint Goal. This solution effort may or may not involve the team, however.

The Scrum Master is the main authority and individual responsible for Scrum adherence, so I can see option B as a possibility, as well as option D, although the Scrum Master should facilitate only as needed.


This was of course a very long-winded answer. I would have probably been much better off following Ian's practice of asking the poster what the Scrum Guide states, because the answers are there.

You beat me to it. The only thing I would add is that option C is arguably correct if it is seen in the context of servant-leadership (though again, that is in the Guide).
