The correct answer promotes shared responsibility by allowing the team to work together to identify and allocate tasks. This approach encourages collaboration, communication and helps the team leverage each member's strengths.

Correct Answer: The Scrum Master should facilitate a meeting and the team should collectively prioritize the product backlog items as per their understanding.

In Scrum, the Product Owner is typically responsible for prioritizing the product backlog. However, in the event the Product Owner is not able to, it is the responsibility of the Scrum Master to facilitate the team to collectively prioritize the backlog based on their understanding. This shares the responsibility among the team members, ensuring that work continues efficiently. The option suggesting 'The Scrum Master should prioritize the backlog alone' is not correct as the Scrum Master's role is to facilitate and coach, not dictate priorities. The option suggesting 'The team should continue working without prioritizing the backlog' is incorrect as well. Prioritizing the backlog is crucial for ensuring that the team works on the most important tasks first. And finally, the option 'The product owner's role should be temporarily assigned to a team member' is incorrect because it contradicts the Scrum principle of a dedicated Product Owner and assumes that any team member could easily fill this role.
