Which of the following is a recognised advantage of working in a team rather than individually?

The recognised advantage is that combining members' differing skills and views can produce better solutions and give mutual support. Team decision-making is often slower, and shared responsibility can dilute individual accountability rather than increase it.

  1. ADecisions are always reached faster because every member must agree
  2. BCombining members' differing skills and views can produce better solutions and mutual supportCorrect
  3. CIndividual accountability is increased because responsibility is clearly allocated to one person
