Ah, the perils of scrum! I'd go with B - the PM needs to step in and clarify the scrum master's role before the whole thing falls apart.

Ah, classic scrum drama! I'd say B is the right call - the PM needs to set some ground rules and make sure everyone is on the same page.

Ooh, tricky one. I think B is the way to go - the PM needs to work with the scrum master to define the scope of their role and responsibilities.

Haha, the team is really throwing the scrum master under the bus! I'd go with C - the team should take ownership and prioritize the issues themselves.

Hmm, the scrum master seems to be dropping the ball here. B sounds like the best option - the PM needs to set clear expectations and guidelines for what constitutes an impediment.
