Selected Answer: B

The project manager should choose option B. Restate to the developers the importance of focusing and meeting the sprint goal. In Scrum, the sprint goal is a commitment made by the development team, and it’s crucial to focus on the agreed-upon work to achieve this goal. While it’s important to address technical debt and potential issues, these should ideally be planned for and included in the sprint backlog during the sprint planning meeting. If the refactoring is critical, it could be discussed with the product owner and potentially included in a future sprint. Remember, the key to successful Scrum is transparency, inspection, and adaptation.
