(B). Group members desire peace and harmony within the group.

Explanation:

Groupthink is a situation that occurs when members of a group settle for a less than ideal solution or option, instead of coming up with the best possible solution, because they want to maintain peace and harmony within the group.

In this case, the group members tend to accept an opinion even when they do not really agree with it.
