Explanation

Per the 2017 Scrum Guide (which this question references), if the organization does not have a standard Definition of Done, the Development Team must define one appropriate for the product. It is the Development Team who determines what 'Done' means for the Increment they build, because they are the ones doing the work and can best judge the quality criteria. The Product Owner and Scrum Master can provide input, but the responsibility for creating and maintaining it belongs to the Development Team.
