Explanation
The Scrum Guide explicitly states that (A) the Product Owner is exactly one person - not a committee - ensuring clear, singular accountability. (B) The Product Owner is accountable for ordering the Product Backlog so that goals and missions are best achieved. (C) and (D) are incorrect: the Scrum Guide explicitly forbids the Product Owner role from being shared or played by a committee. If a committee wants to influence backlog ordering, they must work through the Product Owner, who retains sole authority.
