  • B Escalate the issue to the product owner.
  • C Encourage the team member to speak with their fellow developer about the proper process.
  • D Publicly call out the developer for failing to report the test.
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

To help make the team feel more comfortable holding each other accountable, Ophelia should encourage the team member to speak with the developer. Publicly calling out the developer risks damaging team morale and may not help solve the poor behavior. The product owner may not be able to help in this scenario. Removing the developer is not ideal as this will not allow the team to hold each other accountable.
