Answer 2

d. disband permanently or take a temporary break.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjournment stage is the fifth and last stage of group development. The group wraps up work and is disbanded. At this stage team members celebrate their successes and get closure in preparation for the next project.

Team members may feel low motivation and a sense of loss because of bonds they had formed. Some people refer to this stage as the mourning stage, and team members need to celebrate their achievements to boost moral.
