Explanation
Information radiators (task boards, sprint burndown charts, backlog status displays) are meant to make project progress continuously visible to all team members and stakeholders, including the product owner-without requiring a formal report. The Scrum Master should direct the product owner to review these always-visible information sources. This is a coaching moment about agile transparency tools. Blaming the team for prioritization choices (A) or pointing to the product owner's own responsibility (D) is defensive and unproductive. A satisfaction histogram (C) is not a standard tool for tracking requirement implementation status.
