The options you provided (A. Change the duration of iterations to deliver more value, B. Validate the iteration goals with the customer, C. Invite the customer to the daily meetings, D. Help the team redefine the MVP) don't directly address the issue described: a team member's changing personal commitments affecting their availability. The Project Management Institute (PMI) encourages project managers to be flexible, adaptive, and communicative when dealing with such issues. In this case, the project manager should engage in an open discussion with the team member to understand their specific needs and constraints. Possible solutions could include adjusting that team member's schedule, allowing for remote or flexible work, or reallocating certain tasks within the team. The project manager should also ensure the rest of the team is aware of and comfortable with any changes made. So, based on the options provided, none are the "correct" choice according to project management guidelines. A more direct response to the team member's needs is required.

D. Helped the team redefine the MVPBy helping the team redefine the Minimum Viable Product (MVP), the project manager can address any changes in working conditions or team availability while ensuring that the project's essential objectives are still met. This approach allows the team to adjust their focus and priorities in response to new constraints.
