Explanation
A is correct because the Product Owner (PO) owns the Product Backlog and is responsible for maximizing product value - they track progress toward the product goal, manage release forecasts, and communicate status to stakeholders. The PO holds the vision and the metrics.
B is wrong because the Scrum Master focuses on process health and removing impediments, not on what is or isn't delivered toward a business objective.
C is wrong because while the Development Team knows their own sprint velocity and technical progress, they don't own the business objective or release roadmap - that accountability lives with the PO.
Memory tip: Think "Product Owner = Product Progress." Whoever owns the goal owns the knowledge of how far along it is. The PO is the single wringable neck for "are we on track to release?"
