B. Educate the product owner that the project team members are the most appropriate group for assessing the effort. The project team has the expertise and technical knowledge to accurately estimate the effort required to deliver the feature. This approach fosters mutual respect and trust, ensuring that realistic timelines are established based on the team's assessment.
