Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Giving names to teams and T-shirts to their members can create a sense of identity and belonging, which can increase motivation and reduce social loafing. Assigning more members to a project (A) can actually increase social loafing as individuals may feel less responsible for the outcome, and randomly assigning members (C) does not address the issue of social loafing. Making sure dissent is never tolerated (D) can have negative consequences for creativity and innovation within a group.
