Explanation

In Scrum, no individual Developer is assigned ownership of a specific Sprint Backlog item. The entire Development Team holds collective accountability for all Sprint Backlog items and achieving the Sprint Goal together. Option A (Daily Scrum) is wrong because the Daily Scrum is an inspection and adaptation event, not an assignment ceremony. Option C implies individual capacity triggers ownership, which is inconsistent with team-level accountability. Option D (items split evenly at Sprint Planning) violates Scrum principles - Sprint Backlog items are not divided among individuals. The Developers self-organize to determine who works on what, but accountability remains shared.
