Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a group is initially uncertain but then agrees on a particular response, members tend to hold strongly to the response as a way of reducing their own uncertainty and affirming their decision-making abilities. This is known as the phenomenon of "groupthink." Therefore, option A is the best choice. Option B is incorrect because when the group agrees on a response, they are more likely to defer to the authority in the group. Option C is also incorrect because members who hold strongly to a response may be less likely to change their minds, even in the face of disconfirming information.
