Suggested Answer: C

The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product, and prioritization is key to that responsibility. Even though losing a short-term business opportunity may seem detrimental, the Product Owner's long-term focus is more in line with the Agile principle of delivering sustainable value. Supporting the Product Owner's prioritization fosters respect for the role and the overall Agile process.

Wow, this question really hits the nail on the head! Rewarding individual performance and high utilization definitely clashes with the collaborative nature of Agile. Looks like options B and D are the culprits here.
