Sustainable pace, you say? Well, I hope the Scrum Master isn't trying to put the team on a treadmill during the Sprint. Option C is the way to keep everyone sane and productive.

I agree with Denise. It's important for the team to not burn out by working too fast or too slow.

Haha, option D is a good one. I'd love to see the team's effort directly proportional to the cost - that would be the dream! But in reality, C is the way to go.

I'm gonna go with C. Keeping a steady pace that the team is comfortable with is key to a successful Sprint. Increasing or decreasing effort doesn't sound very sustainable to me.
