Answer: A,D,E,F

Explanation:

Scrum Guide:

Scrum Teams are cross-functional, meaning the members have all the skills necessary to create value for each Sprint. They are also self-managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when, and how.

The Product Owner is also accountable for effective Product Backlog management, which includes:

– Developing and explicitly communicating the Product Goal;

– Creating and clearly communicating Product Backlog items;

– Ordering Product Backlog items; and,

– Ensuring that the Product Backlog is transparent, visible and understood.

The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product.

The moment a Product Backlog item meets the Definition of Done, an Increment is born.
