Answer: C,D

Explanation:

Having multiple DoD’s within the same team will reduce transparency and increase complexity as it can make it more difficult for people outside of the team to understand what it means when an item is moved to ‘done’. Having separate DoD’s will require the team to highlight which Product Backlog items belong to which DoD. Remember, increasing velocity is not the objective of Scrum. Also, you cannot guarantee increased velocity by having separate DoD’s.
