Explanation
The Product Owner is solely responsible for ordering the Product Backlog, and the primary criterion is value - the most valuable items are placed at the top so the Development Team works on the highest-priority items first. The Product Owner may consider factors like risk, dependencies, and size when ordering, but these are inputs to a value-based decision, not the default ordering method. Options B, C, and D describe specific ordering strategies that might be used occasionally but are not how the Product Backlog is defined to be ordered in Scrum.
