Answer:

Cooptation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cooptation can be explained to be the process that allows the addition of elite people to a group that is seen to be social and most times has multiple and also contradictory consequences.

Therefore, it is seen to be a possibility especially when a challenging group or social movement opposes the said groups practices, or their policies. Which is caused or seen from a more powerful social coordination or even a political institutions. That is why it can also be summarized as a deliberate effort to form an advisory board with little real power in order to bring persons who oppose a program into the decision-making structure etc.
