The Sprint Backlog is owned by the Development Team (D). It represents their plan for delivering the Sprint Goal, and only the Development Team can add to or modify it during the Sprint. The Product Owner owns the Product Backlog, not the Sprint Backlog. The Scrum Master facilitates but does not own artifacts. The Scrum Team as a whole does not own the Sprint Backlog specifically - this is a responsibility of the Development Team.
