The language of questions is not good, mean the questions shows you join the team forming stage, also showed they use to fight storming, now directly it is saying people are productive , i would still see Norming since seems to be question is just giving sequence of team development.

Ques 3: Multiple new members are added to an ongoing project. Although all original team members received basic training on the specifics of the business operation that the project supports, the new members do not have the same basic understanding. This lack of understanding results in decreased productivity. How should the project manager respond to this issue? SELECT THE CORRECT ANSWER Ask the original team members to provide support and training, and schedule a second kick-off meeting for new team members. Assure all new team members that they should feel comfortable asking for help from both the long-term members and project manager. Revise the team, so that the newer resources are moved to other projects and resources with relevant experience are added, then log lessons learned. Recognize that this is a common occurrence when teams experience change, and revise the schedule to allow for the slight decrease in productivity.

A,B and D , all are good ideas, but i see we start with D, so the right answer is you as PM understand that team which was in performing stage before has moved to forming stage now, and you need to take it for forming to performing again, so decrease in productivity is expected

Usually you get more complicated questions in exam where rather than identifying the stage one has to act as per stage, so try to practice action oriented questions as well. This one is focusing on Norming since it gave clear hit that team started to become productive
