Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In the forming stage, group members are getting to know each other and learning what behaviors are expected of them within the group. They may be hesitant to express their opinions, and are focused on building relationships with their fellow group members. Option A is incorrect because the redefining stage comes after the forming stage. Option C is incorrect because creating group objectives typically happens in the norming stage. Option D is incorrect because examining tasks usually happens in the storming stage.
