Explanation

The Release Train Engineer (RTE) facilitates the PO Sync because they are the servant leader and coach for the Agile Release Train (ART), responsible for coordinating across teams and enabling smooth PI execution - the PO Sync is an ART-level ceremony that requires that cross-team coordination role. The Scrum Master (A) facilitates team-level ceremonies like Daily Standups and Retrospectives, not ART-level events. The Product Owner (B) is a participant in PO Sync, aligning on priorities and dependencies, not the facilitator. Business Owners (C) are stakeholders who participate in PI Planning and inspect results, but have no facilitation role in routine ART ceremonies.

Memory tip: The RTE is to the ART what the Scrum Master is to a team - whenever you see an ART-level meeting (PO Sync, ART Sync, Scrum of Scrums), the RTE facilitates it, just as the Scrum Master facilitates team-level meetings.
