Why each option
Taking the team on an outing to build relationships and practice teamwork is a classic example of the team development process.
Storming is a stage of Tuckman's team development model characterized by conflict and competition, not a planned team-building activity.
Forming is the initial stage of Tuckman's model where team members first meet, not a structured exercise designed to build teamwork.
Team development is the process of improving the competencies, interaction, and overall environment of the project or program team to enhance performance. Activities such as team outings, retreats, and collaborative challenges are recognized team development techniques that improve cohesion and communication among team members.
Cost of quality is a financial concept related to the cost of conformance and nonconformance in quality management, unrelated to team building.
