Answer 1

ANSWER 13: (a) during a period of change in team membership

It is the correct answer because member skills and clear role expectations are more important when there is a change in the team membership as it would help to have clarity in work and the goals can be accomplished effectively.

The other options are incorrect because when the workforce is stable, the work is easy or the task is easy to learn then there is less requirement of member skills and clear role expectations. The employees can easily work in these situations.
