Explanation
False (B) is correct because the Scrum Master role remains essential even as teams mature into self-organization - the role simply evolves rather than disappears. A self-organizing team still benefits from a Scrum Master who removes impediments, protects the team from external interference, coaches on Scrum principles, and facilitates continuous improvement.
Why A is wrong: Self-organization is a goal Scrum Masters actively help teams achieve and sustain, not a finish line after which they become redundant. Even high-performing teams encounter organizational friction, process drift, and new challenges that benefit from a Scrum Master's attention.
Memory tip: Think of the Scrum Master like a coach of a championship sports team - winning the title doesn't mean the coach is fired. The team still needs someone to maintain discipline, develop talent, and keep external distractions at bay.
