Explanation

The Sprint Backlog belongs solely to the Development Team. It is their plan for delivering the Sprint Goal, and only they can add to, modify, or remove items from it during the Sprint. The Product Backlog (B) belongs to the Product Owner. The Increment (D) is delivered by the Development Team but is intended for the organization and stakeholders - it does not 'belong' to the team. The Definition of Done (C) is created by the Development Team but applies organization- or product-wide, so it is not solely theirs.
