Explanation

Emotional Intelligence (EI) provides project managers and teams with self-recognition (understanding one's own emotions and how they affect behavior) and the ability to manage the emotions of others (empathy, social skills, and influencing team dynamics positively). High EI leads to better collaboration, reduced conflict, and improved team cohesion. Options A and D describe negative outcomes (more stress, more tension) which are the opposite of what EI provides. Option B partially overlaps but incorrectly pairs 'greater self-awareness' with 'project team turnover,' which EI actually helps reduce.
