Explanation
The 2020 Scrum Guide states that the Scrum Team identifies its most helpful improvements and 'may even add them to the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint.' The key word is 'may' - it is optional, not mandatory. Choice B is incorrect because it implies the team 'should' always place at least one improvement in the Sprint Backlog, which overstates the obligation. Choice D is wrong because the Scrum Master alone does not select and place items; the whole Scrum Team does.
