Explanation
Discussing impediments with the Development Team (A) is effective because team members often have the context, skills, or authority to resolve certain impediments themselves without Scrum Master involvement - the Scrum Master need not be the sole resolver. Prioritizing the list (B) ensures the most harmful impediments are addressed first, maximizing impact with limited capacity. Arranging a meeting with project managers (C) is non-Scrum overhead that adds bureaucracy without guaranteed results. Adding impediments to the Product Backlog (D) is incorrect - the Product Backlog contains product-related work items, not team-level process or organizational impediments.
