Explanation

The Scrum Master is the guardian of the Scrum framework - responsible for ensuring the team understands and enacts Scrum theory, practices, and rules. The Product Owner (A) owns the product backlog and business value. 'Coach' (B) is a broader Agile role not specific to Scrum process enforcement. 'Scrum Manager' (D) is not a defined Scrum role at all - there are only three roles in Scrum: Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team.
