Explanation

In Scrum, the Development Team is self-organizing and has full autonomy over how they accomplish the Sprint Goal - they decide their own technical approach, task breakdown, and work distribution without being directed by anyone outside the team. The Scrum Master (A) is a servant-leader who removes impediments and facilitates the process, but does not assign or direct work. Technical Architects (B), Team Leads (D), and an Engineering Director (E) are not recognized Scrum roles at all - Scrum deliberately avoids imposed hierarchy within the team to enable self-organization and collective ownership. A useful memory tip: think of the Development Team as a self-managing unit - they own the what (from the Product Owner via the backlog) and the how (entirely themselves), which is the foundation of Scrum's agility.
