Synergy, huh? Is that when the group's collective IQ drops by 50 points? I'm going with (B) - sounds like the safest bet.

Groupthink, where the group prioritizes consensus over critical thinking? Yeah, that's a problem alright. (B) is the way to go.

The Abilene paradox is another issue that can arise in group settings. (B) covers all the problematic examples.

Synergy can be a positive outcome of group work, but it's important to be aware of the potential pitfalls like groupthink. (B) is the best choice.

Ah, the Abilene paradox - when the group collectively decides on a course of action that no one actually wants. Classic group dysfunction right there. (B) gets my vote.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the correct answer is (B) - the Abilene paradox, Risky Shift, Groupthink, and Conformity are all well-known issues in group dynamics.

I see your points, but I think the answer is A) All of the above. Conformity can also lead to problems in group working if individuals are not encouraged to think independently.

I disagree, I believe the answer is C) (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). Synergy can also be a problem in group working if not managed properly.
