What this question is testing
Objective: Apply servant leadership in the Scrum Master role
Prompt focus: A Scrum Master notices the Developers repeatedly defer to the Product Owner for technical decisions during the Sprint. The most effective response is to do which of the following?
Why the correct answer works

The Scrum Master coaches the Developers to embrace their accountability for self-managing how the work is done.
Why the tempting wrong answer fails

Plain-language takeaway
The Developers are accountable for self-management, including deciding how to do the work and turn Product Backlog items into an Increment. A Scrum Master serving the team coaches the Developers to own those decisions rather than transferring that accountability elsewhere.
Simple analogy
Think of apply servant leadership in the scrum master role like following a short checklist: identify the clue, confirm the rule, and then make the move that fits this exact scenario.
