Giving a small task to include a new team member promotes which behaviour?

Correct answer: Inclusive cooperation

The direct answer is A, inclusive cooperation. Inclusive cooperation means allowing every team member to participate, contribute and feel accepted. Step by step: a new member may not yet know the team’s work; giving a small, suitable task introduces the person safely; the person contributes, learns the process and develops confidence; the team then works together more effectively. Option A is correct because it combines inclusion with shared work. Option B, isolation, means keeping someone apart, which is the opposite of inviting participation. Option C, ignoring, means not noticing or involving the new member, so it cannot describe giving a task. Option D, improper competition, means unfairly trying to defeat or undermine others; a suitable task is meant to support cooperation, not create unfair rivalry. The task should be explained clearly and matched to the person’s ability. Memory cue: include, give a fair chance, work together—this is inclusive cooperation.
