Explanation

The daily stand-up (daily Scrum) is explicitly designed for team members to surface blockers and significant issues so the team can respond quickly. A two-week issue discovered during a six-week iteration is significant enough to raise at the very next stand-up - not at the retrospective (which would delay communication by weeks). The team member should not begin resolution unilaterally without informing the team, as collaboration and transparency are core agile values. Waiting for the retrospective (Options C and D) would waste valuable time and violate the agile principle of early, frequent communication.
