Answer:

A) the sum of what individuals can produce as a team is greater than the sum of what individuals can produce working alone.

Explanation:

Alchain and Demsetz studied organizations as a cooperative and specialized union resulting from an increase in productivity and lower costs, in other words organizations are the result of synergy. They argued that in order for synergy to result, team work must be combined in an organized manner so that positive cooperation results.

Their theory applies to both individual and companies that merge together.
