The Development Team can cancel the Sprint:

Answer options

• C. It can't. Only Product Owners can cancel Sprints.
• D. When the Sprint Backlog is determined to be unachievable.
• E. When too many impediments occur.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel a Sprint, regardless of the circumstances faced by the Development Team. Options A, B, D, and E present scenarios that may affect the Sprint but do not grant the Development Team the power to cancel it.
