Explanation

Developers have two key accountabilities addressed in these options: Option C (creating a plan for the Sprint, the Sprint Backlog) - Developers are directly accountable for creating and managing the Sprint Backlog. During Sprint Planning, Developers select Product Backlog items and create a plan (the Sprint Backlog) that describes how they will deliver the Increment. Option D (organizing the work required to meet the Sprint Goal) - Developers are self-managing, meaning they decide internally how to structure, assign, and execute the work within the Sprint to achieve the Sprint Goal. Option A (selecting the Product Owner) is incorrect - the Product Owner is typically appointed by the organization, not selected by Developers. Option B (reporting productivity) is incorrect - Developers are not accountable for reporting metrics to management; the Scrum Team manages its own transparency through artifacts and events, not productivity reports to outside parties.
