The refactoring work may be technically valuable, but the team has already agreed on a Sprint Backlog in which the payment module is the highest-priority item, and that work is still in progress. Agile teams should protect the Sprint Goal and maintain focus on completing open, high-value work before voluntarily starting unrelated lower-priority work. The potential technical debt should be captured and prioritized appropriately, but it should not displace the current Sprint Goal unless new information makes a change necessary and the team appropriately revisits the work.
The sprint backlog has already been agreed upon, and the payment module is the highest priority.

C ❌ — Escalation is unnecessary; the team should resolve this collaboratively. D ❌ — Quality is important, but it should not override the agreed sprint objective. 🧠 Quick Memory Tip Sprint in progress → Protect the Sprint Goal → Stay focused. 👉 Answer: B
