To ensure that there is no gap between the customer's expectation from the project, and the deliverables produced, the Scrum Master has to eliminate environmental obstructions that the team may face, that may affect the quality of the deliverables.

- D. Quality Control activities are carried out during the process of Creating Deliverables that are potentially shippable; Quality Assurance activities are usually standalone activities, not carried out as part of the work.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Quality control refers to the execution of the planned quality activities by the Scrum Team in the process of creating deliverables that are potentially shippable. It also includes learning from each set of completed activities in order to achieve continuous improvement. Within the cross-functional team, it is important to have the skills necessary to perform quality control activities. During the Sprint Retrospect Meeting, team members discuss lessons learned. These lessons act as inputs into continuous improvement and contribute to the improvement of ongoing quality control.
Quality is required not only in products, but also in processes. Quality assurance refers to the evaluation of processes and standards that govern quality management in a project to ensure that they continue to be relevant. Quality assurance activities are carried out as part of the work. In fact, quality assurance is a significant factor of the definition of Done. The deliverable isn't complete if appropriate quality assurance has not been conducted. Often, quality assurance is demonstrated during the Sprint Review Meeting.

- C. Scrum Team - decide whether the change can wait until the next Sprint or represents an urgent situation that may require ending the current Sprint and starting a new one.
- D. Scrum Master - ensures that the requirements and Acceptance Criteria are not altered during the Sprint Review Meeting.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Although the Stakeholder(s) and the Product Owner have the final say on Prioritized Product Backlog Items and whether to accept or reject any Change Requests presented during Demonstrate and Validate Sprint, it is the Scrum Master's responsibility to ensure that the requirements and Acceptance Criteria are not altered during the Sprint Review Meeting for the User Stories completed in the current Sprint. This prevents the rejection of completed User Stories based on the fact that they do not meet newly changed requirements. If any requirements need to be changed, any corresponding PBI needs to be revised to accommodate the modified requirements in a future Sprint.
