Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The characteristics of groupthink include illusion of invulnerability, self-censorship, illusion of unanimity, direct pressure on dissenters, and stereotyping of out-group. Therefore, the statement "except" refers to an element that is not a part of groupthink, which is indirect pressure.
