Answer options

• B. A team of engineers, testers, business analysts, technical architects and functional managers.
• C. A group of full-stack developers shared across multiple teams.
• D. A team of skilled developers that can effectively multi-task on multiple Product Backlog items at the same time.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, highlights that a cross-functional team possesses the necessary skills to deliver a complete product Increment by the end of the Sprint. Options B and C focus on specific roles or arrangements that don't emphasize the team's ability to deliver a complete shippable Increment. Option D suggests multi-tasking on multiple items, which does not align with the definition of a complete cross-functional team.
