Explanation
An agile coach operates as a servant-leader and facilitator, not an authority figure. The correct approach is to meet with the team, surface the issue transparently, and collaboratively identify actions to address it. This respects team autonomy and self-organization while still resolving the performance problem. Going directly to functional managers (A) bypasses the team. Threatening penalties (D) is authoritarian and damages trust. Preemptively warning about morale (B) avoids the actual issue. Teams that own their problems are more likely to commit to resolving them.
