Explanation
When a new Scrum Master joins an established team, their first substantive action should be to assess how well the team's current processes align with accepted Scrum practices. This assessment creates a baseline and informs where coaching is most needed. An established team may have developed habits or process drift that the new Scrum Master must identify before they can add value. Option C (facilitating problem resolution) is an ongoing Scrum Master responsibility but is not the right first step - you must understand the team before facilitating change. Option D (reviewing the backlog) is primarily a product owner concern, not a Scrum Master responsibility.
