Answer: B

Explanation:

The defined terminology in Scrum was selected, designed, and defined specifically for supporting the Scrum Framework. The Scrum Master is responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. Implementing only the terminology is not Scrum and not agile. The Scrum framework, as outlined herein, is immutable. While implementing only parts of Scrum is possible, the result is not Scrum. Scrum exists only in its entirety and functions well as a container for other techniques, methodologies, and practices.
