Which best explains why SAFe uses Scrum as the foundational team-level framework for Agile Teams within an Agile Release Train?
AScrum is used only because it is easier to certify Scrum Masters than to train teams in Kanban or other team-level methods.
BScrum was mandated by the Agile Manifesto as the only framework compliant with its four values.
CScrum eliminates the need for a Product Owner once a team joins an Agile Release Train, since the RTE assumes backlog ownership.
DScrum provides a lightweight, well-defined set of accountabilities, artifacts, and events that establish a reliable cadence and empirical process control, upon which SAFe layers the practices needed to synchronize multiple teams at scale.

On an ART, a Product Owner wants to add a new story to the Team Backlog mid-Iteration at the direct request of a customer, without discussing it with the Developers or checking the current Iteration Goals. As the Scrum Master/Team Coach, which guidance best reflects SAFe Scrum practice?
AThe Scrum Master/Team Coach must formally approve all Team Backlog reprioritization before the Product Owner communicates it to the team.
BThe Product Owner has unilateral authority to change the Iteration scope at any time without team input, since Product Owners own all scope decisions.
CThe Product Owner may update the Team Backlog at any time, but changing the scope of the current Iteration should be avoided unless necessary, and any such change should be negotiated with the Developers since it may jeopardize the Iteration Goals.
DOnly the Release Train Engineer (RTE) can approve mid-Iteration scope changes for any team on the ART.
