The correct answer is B because a well-functioning team has enough clarity, focus, and alignment that it is not constantly disrupted by changing priorities. In DevOps, frequent uncontrolled reprioritization damages flow, creates context switching, increases work in progress, delays completion, and weakens accountability. A team that reprioritizes infrequently is more likely to have stable goals, clear decision rules, and a shared understanding of what matters most.
The other options describe poor team functioning. A team unable to make decisions lacks autonomy or clarity. An unaccountable team does not own outcomes or commitments. A team making slow progress toward goals may be blocked by dependencies, unclear priorities, excessive work in progress, or weak feedback loops.
This does not mean priorities never change. DevOps teams must remain responsive to customer feedback, incidents, risk, and business needs. However, effective teams manage priority changes deliberately rather than reactively. They protect focus while still learning and adapting.
