Explanation

In Scrum, management's role is to support Scrum Teams, not control them. Option C is correct - management provides insights, context, and resources that enable continuous improvement while respecting the team's autonomy. Option A (removing underperformers) is a traditional management mindset at odds with Scrum's collaborative, blame-free culture. Option B (monitoring Developer productivity) is micro-management and violates the principle that Developers are trusted to self-organize and self-manage. Option D (monitoring staffing levels) reduces management to a headcount function rather than a value-enabling partnership. Scrum management is servant leadership focused on removing organizational impediments and enabling teams.
