Solution

Answer

The answer is (B) coalition

Explanation

Option A: A secondary group

A secondary group is a larger, more impersonal group that is task-focused and time-limited. It is not specifically formed for a common goal in the sense of a temporary or permanent alliance.

Option B: Coalition

A coalition is a temporary or permanent alliance formed by individuals or groups to achieve a common goal. This aligns with the description given in the question.

Option C: Groupthink

Groupthink refers to a psychological phenomenon where the desire for harmony or conformity in a group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. It is not an alliance formed for a common goal.

Option D: Dyad

A dyad is a group of two people, the smallest possible social group. It does not fit the description of a triad or larger alliance geared toward a common goal.
