The Developers ask their Product Owner to re-order the Product Backlog. The team is waiting for an external supplier to deliver a component. Without that component there will not be enough work in the next Sprint to occupy the full team. As the Scrum Master, what advice would you give the Product Owner?

A. Remind the Product Owner that his primary concern is the flow of value reflected in the ordering of the Product Backlog.
B. Tell the Product Owner to re-order the Product Backlog so the work involving the external component can be planned in a separate sprint.
C. Tell the Product Owner that the Product Backlog should be ordered to maximize utilization of the Development Team.
