Why each option

The project team's increasing productivity and comfort in asking for help signify that they are currently in the Norming stage of team development.

APerforming

Performing is when the team operates at its optimal level, with high productivity and interdependence, which typically comes after establishing comfort and norms.

BAdjourning

Adjourning is the final stage, where the team disbands after project completion, which is not applicable to a team increasing productivity after three months.

CForming

Forming is the initial stage where team members are introduced and polite, not yet comfortable or highly productive.

DNormingCorrect

The Norming stage is characterized by the team beginning to work together more cohesively, establishing norms, resolving conflicts, increasing productivity, and members becoming comfortable asking for help. This stage follows Storming and precedes Performing, where the team operates at its peak efficiency.
