Answer 1

Option D, in highly cohesive groups, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Group-think is a term used to refer to the method of making decisions as a group in a form that impedes creativity or personal engagement. In terms of psychology, group-think is a phenomenon which transpires within a group of people in which the hope for compatibility or resemblance in the group appears in an unreasonable or dysfunctional decision-making result. In group-think maintaining group cohesiveness and solidarity are more valuable than realistically judging the facts.
