Correct answer: Encourage the team to collaborate to resolve their understanding of the feature..
Why this is the answer
In agile, self-organizing teams are empowered to make decisions and solve problems collectively. The project manager, acting as a servant leader, should facilitate this collaboration rather than imposing a solution. Encouraging the team to discuss and reach a shared understanding of the feature scope aligns with agile principles of self-management and collective ownership. Directing a senior member to decide undermines team autonomy and may not lead to the best solution. Logging the story and moving on avoids the problem, which will likely resurface later. The project manager deciding the scope also bypasses team collaboration and ownership.
