Answer: Option D

Explanation: In simple words, social loafing refers to the phenomenon which states that a individual working in a group tend to exert less effort in comparison of the work he or she performs while working individually.

Generally social loafing is more evident in groups which have more members and the individual task cannot be identified separately. Social loafing have high probability as there might be a less motivated members in the group who would think that someone will perform their share of task.

Hence from the above we can concluded that Maxine was involved in social loafing.
