Explanation
The Development Team is responsible for managing its own membership and dynamics (C), and may need the Scrum Master's help navigating HR or organizational processes. Development Teams are self-organizing, which includes resolving interpersonal issues. The Scrum Master can coach and facilitate but doesn't have direct authority over team membership. The hiring manager (A) has HR authority but not Scrum authority over the team. There is no 'Scrum Manager' role in Scrum (B)-this is a distractor. The Product Owner (D) focuses on the product backlog and value, not team personnel decisions.
