Selected Answer: D
D makes more sense to me. You always make decisions collaboratively by discussing it with the team. B, does not sound right. The question is not about equality or preferring someone over others

Selected Answer: D
In this situation, the project manager should proactively address the issue by meeting with the team to discuss and define the expected behavior in stressful situations. This involves setting clear expectations for how team members should handle stress and providing guidance on effective coping mechanisms. Additionally, initiating practice sessions can help the team develop and reinforce positive behaviors in the face of stress. Open communication and proactive coaching can contribute to a more resilient and efficient team.
