c) All Developers 
d) Product Owner

Nobody can change the Sprint Backlog other than the Developers. So, they should be present. The Product Owner is responsible for optimizing the value of the Scrum Team’s work and is needed to explain the content of the Product Backlog and give mutual consent on the next work. So, they also need to be present. Correct answers are ‘c’ and ‘d.’
