The stage where a team encounters establishment of order and cohesion with the leader helping to clarify team roles and values is the norming stage of team development. This is where the team begins to work together more efficiently and effectively, with a clear understanding of expectations and goals. This stage follows the forming stage and precedes the performing stage. Therefore, option C is the correct choice for this scenario.
