Correct answer: Sprint goal, Product backlog.
Why this is the answer
For effective sprint planning, the team needs the product backlog to understand the prioritized list of features and requirements available for selection. They also need a clear sprint goal to define the overall objective for the upcoming sprint, guiding their selection of backlog items and ensuring alignment with the product vision. Without a sprint goal, the team might select disparate items without a unifying purpose. Without the product backlog, there's no source of work to plan. The company mission and vision are too high-level for sprint planning. A sprint charter is not a standard Scrum artifact. A burndown chart is an output of a sprint, not an input for planning a new one.
