The Development Team should have all the skills needed to

• A. Complete all development work within the time and budget estimates provided to Product Owner at the start of the project
• B. Do all the development work, except for specialized testing that requires additional tools and environments
• C. Turn the Product Backlog items it selects into an increment of potentially releasable product functionality
• D. Complete only the work defined during the Sprint Retrospective

Answer: (C)

The main concept is that the Development Team is cross-functional and has all the skills needed to deliver a usable product increment. In Scrum, the team takes items from the Product Backlog and, by the end of the Sprint, produces an increment that is potentially releasable and meets the Definition of Done. This means the team owns the full end-to-end work to turn selected backlog items into a working piece of the product, without needing to hand off work to external specialists. So, turning Product Backlog items it selects into an increment is the correct idea because it captures the team’s responsibility to deliver a complete, shippable increment within each Sprint. The other options don’t fit because Scrum doesn’t guarantee completing all work within initial time and budget estimates, nor does it rely on external testing outside the team, and the Sprint Retrospective is about process improvement, not dictating what work is done during the Sprint.
