How to approach this question

Full Answer
C.Individual needs✓ Correct
John Adair's model consists of three overlapping circles: Achieving the Task, Building and Maintaining the Team, and Developing the Individual. If staff are burning out and resigning despite the work getting done, the leader is neglecting the 'Individual' circle.
Common mistakes
Choosing 'Team needs'. While related, burnout and resignation are primarily individual welfare issues in Adair's framework.
