The Members of the Drama Club at Suzie's High School

The members of the drama club at Suzie's high school had a disagreement about who should play the lead in the upcoming production of Romeo and Juliet. Therefore, five of the twenty-five drama club members decided to leave the group, but this had little impact on the stability of the drama club. The rest of the club was able to go forward with the production, according to the textbook, because:

A) the drama club had a good leader who was able to address the instability in the group.
B) larger groups are less exclusive, and it was easy to get new members.
C) the five members who left were troublemakers.
D) the withdrawal of members from larger groups has little impact on the survival of the group.
