Efforts to support the emotional life of the team as an ongoing social system are ___.

A) affective behaviours
B) affiliation activities
C) maintenance activities
D) support services
E) cohesion activities

Maintenance activities refer to efforts that are made to support the emotional life of the team as an ongoing social system. These activities aim to build trust, respect, and mutual understanding among team members, and help to strengthen the overall cohesion and effectiveness of the team. Affective behaviours and affiliation activities may contribute to maintenance activities, but they do not encompass the broader range of efforts that are required to support the emotional life of the team over time. Support services may be provided to the team, but they do not necessarily focus on the emotional well-being of the group specifically.
