Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: D) The norming stage is the third stage in the group development process. In this stage, close relationships develop and the group demonstrates cohesiveness. There is now a strong sense of group identity and camaraderie. This norming stage is complete when the group structure solidifies and the group has assimilated a common set of expectations of what defines correct member behavior.

Group energy has moved from getting to know and understand each other to performing the task at hand. For permanent work groups, performing is the last stage in development.
