Answer
A
group is socially engaging with nonmembers often

Explanation

Groupthink becomes more likely when a group feels pressure to reach a decision, especially if members prioritize agreement over careful evaluation. Being socially engaged with outsiders and lacking cohesion generally reduce groupthink, while not having a respected leader is not the key factor here. The best answer is “group is under pressure to make a decision.”
