Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The collective effort model suggests that people are more likely to loaf when they are working on easy, unchallenging tasks because they perceive that their efforts are not necessary for the success of the group. Therefore, option B contradicts the CEM as it suggests that people will not loaf on easier tasks.
