The correct answer is C because the Daily Scrum is specifically an event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. According to the Scrum Guide, the Daily Scrum is held by the Developers to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming planned work. This makes the Developers the only people who must attend.
The Scrum Master’s responsibility is to ensure that the event takes place and that attendees understand its purpose, but the Scrum Master is not required to attend unless they are actively helping the Developers or are also participating as part of the team’s work. The Product Owner is also not required to attend. While either the Scrum Master or Product Owner may be present, the Daily Scrum remains a Developers’ event.
Options A, B, D, and E are incorrect because they include roles that are not mandatory participants. Scrum is careful about this distinction to preserve self-management and ensure the Developers own daily planning. The Daily Scrum is not a status meeting for management or other roles. It is a focused inspection-and-adaptation event for the Developers.
