Step 1: Fix the two ends first.
A group begins when people come together and ends when the task is complete. Forming (D) is the start and Adjourning (E) is the end. So the answer must start with D and finish with E.
Step 2: Use this to remove options.
Option (2) starts with A, so it is out. Option (4) ends with B, so it is out. Options (1) and (3) both start with D and end differently, so we look at the middle.
Step 3: Sort the middle three stages.
Conflict among members comes after the first meeting, so storming (A) comes right after forming. Rules and shared norms appear after the conflict, so norming (B) follows storming. Good teamwork needs norms, so performing (C) comes after norming.
Step 4: Check option (1).
Option (1) has C and B before A. That puts performing before the conflict stage, which cannot be right. Option (1) is wrong.
Step 5: Check option (3).
Option (3) reads D, A, B, C, E, the same order we built in step 3. Option (3) is right.
Final Answer:
The sequence D-A-B-C-E is correct.\[ \boxed{3} \]
