What is self-management in the context of Scrum?

Correct answer: The Developers choosing how to accomplish their work within the Sprint

Option D is correct because the Scrum Guide defines self-management as the Developers deciding internally how best to accomplish the Sprint Goal, including who does what, in what order, and how the work is organized. Option A is wrong because self-management emphasizes collaborative decision-making within the team, not working alone. Option B is wrong because the Product Owner is accountable for the Product Backlog, not for managing individual team members. Option C is wrong because Scrum events are essential commitments; opting out of meetings contradicts the framework's inspect-and-adapt cadence.
