Explanation

The Scrum Master's role is to coach and facilitate, not to coordinate work on behalf of the teams. When multiple Scrum Teams work on the same product, the Scrum Master should teach the Development Team members that it is their responsibility to self-organize and coordinate with other teams to produce an integrated Increment. This aligns with Scrum's principle of self-organization and developer accountability. Options A, C, and D either misplace responsibility or introduce anti-patterns (e.g., a Scrum Master acting as a coordinator is a sign of dysfunction).
