Explanation

The Scrum Guide explicitly states that the Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team. They achieve this by managing and prioritizing the Product Backlog, defining product goals, and ensuring that the most valuable work is always at the top of the backlog.
