Explanation
When a Development Team realizes it has taken on too much work, it should collaborate with the Product Owner as soon as possible to renegotiate scope (C). The Product Owner has authority over the Product Backlog and can help prioritize what to remove. Waiting until Sprint Review (A) wastes time and hides the problem.
