Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

When multiple Scrum Teams are working on the same product, ensuring minimal dependencies between the teams is crucial for smooth progress and delivering valuable increments. According to the Scrum Guide, the best approach would involve collaborating with Developers to analyze the work, understand the complexities, and find ways to minimize inter-team dependencies. While other options might sound logical, they don't directly address the minimization of dependencies and can cause more complexity.
