Answer:

b. groupthink

Explanation:

In psychology and business, group thinking refers to the phenomenon that occurs when a group of individuals reaches a decision without really critical thinking or evaluating all the possible alternatives. In other ways, the members of the group don't want to upset the rest of the members of the group and therefore the creativity of the group tends to be null because they don't want conflict to arise.

Censoring dissent, conform, omitting evidence that is contradictory to the group are all characteristics of this type of group. Therefore, the correct answer is b. groupthink
