Izetta's got a point, but I'd start with option C. Privately encouraging the team member is the humane thing to do.

Laticia, you're a riot! But seriously, the Scrum Master should try to help the team member first before escalating to the Product Owner.

Hold up, what if the team member is just pretending to be behind to get out of work? Option D might be the only way to find out what's really going on.

I agree with Susana. The Scrum Master needs to provide support, not undermine the team member in front of everyone.
