Explanation:

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.

Teams are a distinct type of group with specific characteristics. Members of teams often possess complementary skills and share a strong commitment to a common goal or purpose.

In groups, performance primarily relies on the contributions of individual members. In teams, both individual contributions and teamwork are important for achieving success.

Crowds are characterized by the presence of individuals who happen to be at a particular place or situation by chance. Unlike groups, crowds lack structure and a sense of belongingness among its members.

The attention of individuals in the mob becomes polarized, and their actions are directed towards a common goal or objective. Mob behavior is characterized by a shared mindset and behavior, displaying homogeneity of thought and impulsive actions.

An audience is another type of gathering of people who come together for a specific purpose.
