Explanation

True - in Scrum, when multiple teams work on the same product, they all draw from a single Product Backlog owned by one Product Owner. This ensures a unified product vision, consistent prioritization, and eliminates duplication or conflicting priorities across teams.

Why B is wrong: Having separate backlogs per team would fragment the product vision and force the Product Owner to maintain multiple, potentially conflicting priority lists - directly contradicting the Scrum Guide's guidance on scaled Scrum.

Memory tip: Think of the Product Backlog as the single source of truth for what needs to be built. No matter how many teams are building it, there's only one product - so there's only one backlog. "One product = one backlog."
