b. group polarization.
c. deindividuation.
d. groupthink.
Group meetings are important for issues of a sensitive nature or for which individual decision-making is considered to be abbitrary to be discussed. In a meeting there is a democratic process, in which different points of view on the subject can be approached until an idea is taken in a consensual manner. This kind of situation is called groupthink.
