A makes sense. Answer D is part of A. D. Facilitate the meeting so anyone can share their ideas and is heard during the session. By doing A, PM is tabling product owner's recommendation to the team (which fits the bill that anyone can share their ideas and is heard during the session - Option D), but not necessarily deciding on PO's recommendation. After the discussion with the team, the PM will then implement the agreed-on solutions which is decided by the entire team.
