Explanation

The correct answer is C. The Scrum Team creates the Definition of Done. According to the Scrum Guide, "The Developers are required to conform to the Definition of Done, which is defined and evolves with the Scrum Team." The Definition of Done is a commitment by the Developers for the Increment, but it is also a shared understanding within the whole Scrum Team, including the Product Owner and the Scrum Master. The Scrum Team collaborates to create and update the Definition of Done as needed, based on the product and organizational standards. The Definition of Done is not imposed by any external authority or individual.
