Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
- Storming: Following the forming stage, intragroup conflict often arises during the storming stage. Members experience conflicts regarding the group's target attainment, leadership control, resource allocation, and task assignments. Eventually, a leadership hierarchy emerges, and a clear vision for achieving the group's goals is established.
- Norming: After the storming stage, the group enters the norming stage. During this phase, group members develop shared norms and expectations regarding behavior within the group. This fosters the development of a positive group identity.
