B
It is the leader's responsibility to send out an agenda ahead of time and to indicate any prepara-tions members need to make or materials they need to bring. It is important to have a meeting atmosphere where people feel as though they can respond and ask questions in a cooperative and collaborative setting. It is not necessary to have well-designed handouts for the meeting or for the leader to complete all the tasks of the group because this would indicate a lack of participa-tion from the group members.
