Explanation
True (A) is correct because the Scrum framework is intentionally lightweight at its core: it requires only the three Scrum Team members - a Product Owner, Developers, and a Scrum Master - and just enough backlog ideas to fill a single Sprint. Scrum deliberately avoids mandating extensive upfront planning, detailed requirements, or complex setup before work begins.
False (B) is wrong because it implies additional prerequisites are needed to start, but the Scrum Guide confirms no more than these three roles and a minimal set of ideas are required to kick off the first Sprint - nothing else is prescribed as a prerequisite.
Memory tip: Think of Scrum's startup as "3 roles + 1 Sprint's worth of ideas = go." If you're tempted to add things like a full backlog, stakeholder sign-off, or architecture docs before starting, that's not Scrum - Scrum is designed to begin lean and evolve.
