D. active listening

Active listening involves fully concentrating on what is being said, understanding the message, and responding thoughtfully. By actively listening to each other during meetings, team members can better understand each other’s perspectives, build consensus, and work towards effective problem-solving. This skill can help prevent talking over each other and ensure that everyone's ideas are heard and considered.
