The correct answer is

Encouraging shared reasoning

Group projects require members to discuss, negotiate, and justify ideas to one another while working toward a common goal.

This process encourages shared reasoning, as students articulate their thinking, consider peers' perspectives, and collectively build a deeper understanding of the task.

This is distinct from copying, elimination of individual effort, or reduced thinking, all of which describe unproductive group behaviour rather than genuine collaborative learning.

Therefore, the correct answer is encouraging shared reasoning.
