Explanation
When a team lacks ownership, it is often because team members are disconnected from the real-world value and impact of their work. Increasing direct stakeholder interaction surfaces immediate feedback, builds a sense of purpose and accountability, and makes the consequences of missed commitments tangible. This connection motivates the team to internalize delivery responsibility. The other options either escalate outside the team (A), shift focus to the customer rather than the team dynamic (B), or address documentation rather than engagement (D).
