Explanation

In Scrum, the Product Owner is the single point of contact responsible for engaging with stakeholders - gathering their needs, managing expectations, and communicating the product vision to ensure the backlog reflects business value.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Team Lead) - Scrum has no "team lead" role; leadership is shared within the Development Team.
• B (Business Analyst) - Not a defined Scrum role; in Scrum, the PO absorbs this responsibility.
• C (Project Manager) - Also not a Scrum role; project management responsibilities are distributed across all three Scrum roles.
• D (Development Team) - Focuses on delivering the sprint goal, not on stakeholder management.

Memory tip: Think of the Product Owner as the "voice of the customer inside the team" - they face outward toward stakeholders and inward toward the team, making them the natural bridge for all stakeholder engagement.
