Answer 2

Hello! Hope you are doing well.

A collective noun is a word that refers to a group. It can be either singular or plural, but is usually used in the singular.

The best option would be the D) in a team.

Reading is a verb that works like a noun, but not a collective because it is not a group; and university and colleague are considered as a common noun.Therefore: Astronomers often develop their ideas in a team.
