Explanation

The Scrum Master serves the Product Owner by coaching and helping them understand their responsibilities. Offering to help the Product Owner understand the goal of backlog ordering (C) is the appropriate coaching response. Presenting a pre-ordered backlog (D) removes the Product Owner's accountability. Having the Development Team order the backlog (B) usurps the Product Owner's role. Extending the Sprint (A) is not within the Scrum Master's authority and is not an appropriate fix for this situation.
