Explanation

The Scrum Guide identifies three key structural characteristics of a Development Team: (A) No titles - all members are called 'Developers' regardless of specialty, preventing siloed thinking. (D) Whole-team accountability - individuals may have specialized skills, but responsibility for the Increment belongs to the team collectively. (E) No sub-teams - there are no separate QA, architecture, or analysis sub-groups within the team. Choice B is incorrect because Scrum does not prescribe specific roles like 'test engineer.' Choice C is incorrect because the Scrum Master serving as a Developer is an option, not a defining characteristic.
