If the Scrum Team can't even finish a Product Backlog item, they're basically just playing at Scrum. Time to bring in the Scrum Overlord to whip them into shape!

Ah, the eternal struggle of the Scrum Master - trying to get the team to actually do Scrum properly! *sighs* At least the correct answers don't involve setting the office on fire. Baby steps, I suppose.

D is an interesting option, but I worry it would just delay the actual work the team needs to do. Better to keep the focus on delivery while also improving the environment.

I'm not a fan of C - accepting partially done work just seems like a recipe for a dysfunctional Scrum process. Better to focus on building up the team's skills and tools.

B and E seem like the most reasonable options here. The Scrum Master should work to improve the team's capabilities over time, while also setting a realistic Definition of Done given the current constraints.
