Explanation

Developing the Project Team aims to improve interpersonal skills, competencies, and the overall team environment - and a core outcome of that investment is increased trust and cohesiveness among team members. When people feel safe and unified, they collaborate more effectively, which directly improves project performance.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Ground rules): Ground rules are an input tool used to shape behavior, not an objective of the process. They're a means to an end, not the goal itself.
• C (Enhanced resource availability): Resource availability is addressed in the Plan or Acquire Resources processes - Develop Team focuses on improving the people already on the team, not sourcing more of them.
• D (Functional managers become more involved): This is actually the opposite of what typically happens; as a project team develops and becomes more self-sufficient, dependency on functional managers often decreases.

Memory tip: Think of "Develop Project Team" like team-building at a retreat - the whole point is that people leave trusting each other more and working better together. Trust + cohesion = the payoff. If an answer sounds like a starting point (ground rules) or belongs to a different process (resources), it's a distractor.
