  19. anna says:

    ANSWER IS C!

  20. Sid says:

    C.
    Low level of tolerance for difference in opinion prevents people from co-operating. This is also consistent with “low levels of serious conflict”, that is, no tolerance for differences in opinion and incompetent managers fail to realize that this is causing team members not to co-operate.
