The answer to the question is (C) time is lost to coordinating and organizing group members.

Actual group productivity is never quite equal to the expected productivity mainly because there are other processes involved in the team that the team members must do in order to reach the set common goal. Some of these processes usually include determining how to do the work and distributing the assignments to the right person, as well as setting the roles in the team.
