A Scrum Team completes all Sprint Backlog items but the Increment does not meet the Definition of Done. What should the Scrum Team do?

During a Sprint, a Developer discovers that completing a Product Backlog item will take much longer than estimated. What should happen to the Sprint Goal?
Answer: The Sprint Goal remains unchanged; the Developers collaborate with the Product Owner on scope
The Sprint Goal is fixed for the duration of the Sprint; scope may be clarified with the Product Owner while keeping the goal intact.
Which statement best describes the relationship between the Increment and the Definition of Done?

Answer: The Scrum Team collaboratively
When no organizational standard exists, the Scrum Team must create a Definition of Done appropriate for their product.
