Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Refreezing is the stage in Lewin's model where the new behaviors and changes are institutionalized or embedded to prevent people from drifting back to their previous ways of doing things. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Option A, moving, refers to the second stage of the model where the change is initiated, and option B, approaching, is not a term used in Lewin's model. Option C, unfreezing, is the first stage where individuals and organizations are prepared for the change.
