Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it emphasizes the need for independent Product Backlogs when different teams work on separate products, ensuring clarity and focus. Option A is incorrect as multiple Product Owners on a single product do not necessitate separate backlogs; option C is not relevant as it pertains to features rather than product independence; option D is incorrect because it suggests separate backlogs for teams working on the same product, which is not necessary.
