Explanation
In Scrum, the current sprint's scope is protected to allow the development team to focus and deliver. Mid-sprint change requests should not disrupt in-progress work. The correct response is to note the director's requests and treat them as input for prioritization in the upcoming sprint backlog. This respects the Scrum process while acknowledging the stakeholder's needs. Focusing solely on agreed deliverables and ignoring the requests (A) dismisses stakeholder input. Adding resources (B) doesn't solve the scope disruption problem and isn't a BA decision.
