Cross-functional because they are self-contained. They have all the skills they need without depending upon others.

3 to 9 is recommended.
Less than 3 and you don’t have enough differing opinions or people or skills to do the work.
More than 9 is too difficult for communications and work.
If the Product Owner or Scrum Master do actual work on the team, they can be in your 3 - 9 count.
Do Product Owners or Scrum Masters actually work on the development.
They can or cannot, it depends.
If they do work on actual development, they are part of the 3 - 9 optimal count for a development team.

Hint: s…… l…..
The Scrum Master is the servant-leader of their Scrum Team. It’s a very special role for following Scrum on the team and teach the outside organization how to respect his/her Scrum team and its methods.
