Explanation: A) Correct. During forming, the team is faced with the need to become acquainted with its members, its purpose, and its boundaries. Relationships must be formed and trust established. Clarity of direction is needed from team leaders.
B) Incorrect. These questions have already been answered or are in process. During norming, the team is faced with creating cohesion and unity, differentiating roles, identifying expectations for members, and enhancing commitment.
C) Incorrect. During storming, the team is faced with disagreements, counterdependence, and the need to manage conflict. Challenges include violations of team norms and expectations and overcoming groupthink.
