  17% (10)

• D
  9% (5)

Explanation

Storming (A) is correct because when team members begin engaging with actual project work and technical decisions, differing opinions, work styles, and approaches surface - triggering conflict and competition that defines this stage. Forming (B) is wrong because that's when the team first comes together: members are polite, roles are unclear, and no real work has started yet. Norming (C) is wrong because that stage follows the resolution of conflicts - the team has already worked through disagreements and established shared norms and processes. Performing (D) is wrong because it represents a fully cohesive, high-functioning team focused on achieving goals efficiently, not a team just beginning to wrestle with decisions.

Memory tip: Think of it as "Storm before Norm before Perform" - the moment the team digs into real work and decisions, the storm hits first.
