Cooperatives save members money by D) sharing all profits democratically as a group.

Those who join a co-op agree to operate together with one another for the sake of mutual benefit. For instance, in a farmer's co-op (also called an agricultural co-op), participating growers pool together to market their products as a group and share equally in any profits. They may also purchase supplies and services as a group, but that's not the primary reason for forming their cooperative venture as a group.
