Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synergy is the phenomenon where the group's performance is better than the best-performing individual in the group. This is because the group members complement each other's strengths and compensate for each other's weaknesses, leading to better overall performance. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Options B and C are incorrect because they indicate that the group performs worse than individual members, which goes against the definition of synergy. Option D is incorrect because it implies that the group's performance is better than the worst-performing individual in the group, which is not a meaningful comparison.
