Please help me with this multiple choice question. I feel like it's a trick question or circumstantial....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A group of advocates for gun-possession rights are holding a meeting at one of the members’ houses. Based on the concept of group polarization, which of the following will most likely happen as a result of the meeting?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The group members will become even more enthusiastic about gun-possession rights. Some group members will lose interest in the group’s advocacy and will opt to leave. The group members will modify their attitudes toward gun-possession rights based on the insight of other group members. Nothing will change in the way the group members feel about gun-possession rights.

I think it could be all of them except D

A. Because the concept of Group Polarization refers to people taking a more extreme stance toward whatever the "leader" of the group advocates. So in this case gun rights, when individually pondered very rarely change. When in a group however, people tend to go toward more extreme beliefs of a leader.
