Answer 1

Answer: D. social loafing

Explanation:

Social loafing is known to happen in group work when some individuals who are members of a group show little concern and attempt in performing the task or work assign to a group in order to achieve a goal. These members take up fewer responsibilities and leave the bulk of the work for other members to do. Individuals cannot do this when the work is done individually. Thus, it can create or cause division in group work.
