What process involves a team suggesting options for a solution to a problem?

• A. Brainstorming
• B. Reassuring clichés
• C. Gestures
• D. Cultural diversity

Answer: (A)

Brainstorming is a team process focused on generating a wide range of potential solutions by inviting all members to share ideas freely. The goal is to produce as many ideas as possible without judging them during the session, which helps creativity flow and lets people build on one another’s thoughts. After gathering ideas, the team can review and refine them to pick the best option. This approach directly fits the idea of a team suggesting options for solving a problem because it centers on collaborative idea generation rather than criticizing ideas or focusing on unrelated concepts. The other terms described describe actions or concepts that aren’t about generating solution options: reassuring clichés are comforting phrases, gestures are nonverbal actions, and cultural diversity refers to the mix of backgrounds in a team.
