Answer 1

Answer:

D) Self-directed team

Explanation:

Members of self-directed teams basically work independently during most of the time and only meet together in order to organize what has to be done and how current projects are doing. The team members are generally highly trained individuals that have some type of specialization or expertise in their area, and they rarely need supervision or guidance.
