Explanation

The Scrum Master is a servant-leader whose primary responsibilities are coaching the team on Scrum values and practices, and facilitating Scrum ceremonies (sprint planning, daily standups, reviews, and retrospectives). The role is not about directing, planning, or coordinating work-that would describe a traditional project manager or Scrum team member. Coaching develops the team's self-organization and continuous improvement mindset, while facilitation ensures ceremonies are productive. Planning and coordinating (A, D) are more characteristic of a traditional PM role, not the Scrum Master's servant-leader model.
