Both brainstorming and nominal group technique explicitly discourage criticism and debate. In brainstorming, the focus is on generating as many ideas as possible without criticism or evaluation. In the nominal group technique, participants work independently to generate ideas that are shared and discussed without criticism or debate until a final decision is made. Delphi method, on the other hand, encourages debate and discussion among experts who share their views and revise their opinions until a consensus is reached. Therefore, option D is incorrect as it includes Delphi method which encourages debate and discussion.
