I think B is the right answer. The team ultimately owns the work and is self-organized. While offering the team member encouragement to meet commitments is a good thing, the most effective way to ensure the team can meet the sprint goal is to be transparent with the team about the other member falling behind in tasks. That way they can figure out a strategy to get things back on track.

Therefore, the best option is B. Ask the team for suggestions. This empowers the team, fosters collaboration, and leads to solutions that are more likely to be successful and productive.

C is the correct answer. SM is supposed to be a leader, as a first step he should try to engage directly and understand the issue. putting the person in the spot light in front of everyone is not a good leadership quality. Even after private discussions, if the issue still persist, SM can bring the issue to team but only if the required support is something the team can provide, i.e. some domain or technical training.

B - is an option, but first C - SM is a facilitator. He must reveal the exact reason and consequently offer a solution (maybe B).
