According to Tuckman's model of group development, which stage is characterised by members competing for status and challenging the leader's authority and the group's objectives?

- BStormingCorrect
- CNorming
Explanation
In Tuckman's model, the storming stage is where conflict emerges as members jostle for position and challenge the leader and the group's aims. Forming is the earlier stage of polite orientation, and norming follows storming once conflicts are resolved and working rules are agreed.
