Answer & explanation

Correct answer: option 4

The correct answer is Option (4) → A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

(A) Collection of people having common motives and goals — this matches (II) Group. A group is an organised system of two or more individuals who interact, depend on one another and have common motives, with roles and norms that regulate their behaviour.

(B) Collection of people to see a football match — this matches (III) Audience. An audience is a collection of people who have assembled for a special purpose, such as watching a match or a movie; it is generally passive.

(C) Both individual and collective contribution matters in this group — this matches (IV) Team. In groups, performance depends on the contributions of individual members; in teams, both individual contributions and teamwork matter.

(D) A collection of people on the road gathered to see an accident — this matches (I) Crowd. A crowd collects by chance, as when people gather after an accident on the road; it has neither structure nor a feeling of belongingness.

NCERT (2025-26): “Nature and Formation of Groups … A group may be defined as an organised system of two or more individuals, who are interacting and interdependent, who have common motives, have a set of role relationships among its members, and have norms that regulate the behaviour of its members.…”

“Nature and Formation of Groups … Groups can be differentiated from other collections of people. For example, a crowd is also a collection of people who may be present at a place/situation by chance. Suppose you are going on the road and an accident takes place. Soon a large number of people tend to collect. This is an example of a crowd. There is neither any structure nor feeling of belongingness in a crowd. Behaviour of people in crowds is irrational and there is no interdependence among members. Teams are special kinds of groups. Members of teams often have complementary skills and are committed to a common goal or purpose. Members are mutually accountable for their activities. In teams, there is a positive synergy attained through the coordinated efforts of the members. The main differences between groups and teams are:

In groups, performance is dependent on contributions of individual members. In teams, both individual contributions and teamwork matter.…”
