Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The situation described is an example of consensus, which is when all members of a group ultimately support a decision, even if it was not unanimously agreed upon initially. Full agreement would mean that all members agreed without any dissent. Groupthink is a phenomenon where group members prioritize harmony and conformity over critical thinking and independent decision-making. Brainstorming is a process of generating and sharing creative ideas in a group. None of these fully describe the scenario presented in the question.
