If a leader listens only to the majority opinion and does not consider the minority’s reasons, what risk may arise in the decision?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Important alternative perspectives or information may be overlooked
A minority view may contain a warning, alternative solution, or evidence that the majority has not noticed. Ignoring it can produce a decision that is less balanced or less well informed, even if the majority supports it. Option B may occur, but majority support does not prove that the decision considered all important information. Therefore, A states the principal risk.
