Hi, can you please confirm what would be the correct answer for this scenario? 

"The Product Owner needs to be available to his or her team. He/She shows commitment by doing whatever is necessary to build the best product possible – and that means being actively engaged with their Scrum Team(s). What would help determine if the Product Owner providing enough availability to his/her Developers during the Sprint?"

During the Sprint the Developers would monitor their progress to their Sprint Goal commitment. If they are on course, availability is enough.

Are the Developers able to complete work on selected Product Backlog items and consistently deliver usable increments of value?  If so, the Product Owner is available enough. 

Can you provide a source for this question?

Observe when any of the developers is needing to ask PO questions during the implementation.
