Answer:

C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.

Explanation:

In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.

Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.
