Explanation

The agile approach favors transparency and team self-organization. Documenting the issue in a shared, visible space (such as an issue log or Kanban board) and letting the team collaboratively decide on ownership leverages the team's collective intelligence and avoids the facilitator becoming a single point of control. This promotes accountability and shared understanding. Adding it to the product backlog (A) mixes operational issues with feature work. Assigning it based on effort invested (B) is an arbitrary metric that bypasses team input. Root-cause analysis (C) is valuable but does not directly solve the immediate duplicate-effort problem.
