So most organizations fall into default mode, setting up project teams of people who get along nicely.______

The result, however, is disastrous.

The result is mediocrity.

The result is the creation of experts who then become elitists.

Explanation:

Correct Answer is (b).
The paragraph begins by pointing out the difficulties of the expert individual. Towards the end, it mentions a compromise that organizations come up with, which is the setting up of teams of people who get along. Hence a sentence that follows would be a conclusion of sorts, which is present in options (a), (b) and (c). Option (c) can be eliminated, as the experts are already considered elitists. Also, we have no reason to believe that such a measure would bring about disastrous results. Hence, option (a) can be eliminated. However, mediocrity is an outcome that can be expected, which is why we pick Option (b) as the answer.
