Suggested Answer: AD 🗳️
The Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. Scrum Masters do this by helping everyone understand
Scrum theory, practices, rules, and values.
The Scrum Master is a servant-leader for the Scrum Team. The Scrum Master helps the Scrum Team understand which of their interactions are helpful and which aren't.
The Scrum Master helps everyone change these interactions to maximize the value created by the Scrum Team.

I think BD are right. The SM can not say to the PO not attending Daily. If the Development team decided Peter could join because the Development team are the owner of daily

I think AD are correct. In A, the main concern is the behavior of the PO, by congratulate some specific dev team members, so it can affect the whole team mood and create tension. The PO must't influence the Dev team, as it's an autonom entity. About D, no question on this, it's correct

I concern about AD or BD too. I also did research on the Scrum Guide, and get what is defined The Guide says: "The Scrum Master enforces the rule that only Development Team members participate in the Daily Scrum." So SM can say stop attending to PO. AD is the right in scope of Scrum Guide. But, I think PO can join with the observation view.
