Question

a. the bay of pigs invasion
b. the world trade center bombing
c. the election of barack obama
d. the moon landing

Explanation:

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon (relevant to Social Science - Psychology) where a group's desire for harmony leads to irrational decision - making. The Bay of Pigs invasion is a well - known example of groupthink. In the planning of this invasion, the Kennedy administration's inner circle made flawed decisions due to groupthink, such as overestimating the support the invaders would get in Cuba and underestimating the Cuban military's capabilities. The World Trade Center bombing was a terrorist act, the election of Barack Obama was a democratic political process, and the moon landing was a scientific and engineering achievement, none of which are examples of groupthink.

Answer:

A. The Bay of Pigs invasion
