The Scrum Guide tasks the Product Owner with ordering the Product Backlog to maximize value, but
it doesn’t mandate a specific method like "value points." Option B is correct—using value points
(e.g., in techniques like WSJF—Weighted Shortest Job First) is a helpful practice, but empirical
validation (market reception) remains the ultimate measure, aligning with Scrum’s focus on
inspection and adaptation. Option A overstates value points as "ultimate," ignoring real-world
feedback. Option C is too rigid; Scrum allows flexibility in tools as long as empiricism is upheld. Thus,
B is the best answer.
