During an advertising campaign meeting, the members reach a point where they are committed to fostering harmony at all costs and participation is running high. According to the group development process, the stage that will likely come next is

A) delusion.
B) acceptance.
C) disillusion.
D) alignment.
E) cohesion.

The stage of fostering harmony at all costs and high participation is indicative of the norming stage in group development process. However, the next stage, which typically follows norming, is the storming stage where conflicts and power struggles may arise. Since none of the answer choices suggest the stage of storming, the most likely choice is C) disillusion, where group members may start to become dissatisfied with the progress or results achieved during the norming stage.
