Why each option
This question references Tuckman's five stages of team development. The stage characterized by conflict, disagreements, and role struggles is Storming.
Adjourning is the fifth and final stage where the team disbands after completing their work, not a stage characterized by internal conflict or role competition.
Forming is the first stage where team members initially meet and tend to be polite and cautious, with substantive conflict not yet present.
Confronting is not one of the five recognized stages in Tuckman's team development model - Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning.
Storming is the second stage of Tuckman's model and is defined by interpersonal conflict, competition for roles, and disagreements about direction within the team. During this stage, team members assert their positions and challenge one another, which creates tension before the team progresses to norming. This conflict is a normal and expected part of team development as individuals negotiate their place and working relationships.
