The correct choice is that abdicratic groups typically disintegrate quickly. Abdicratic leadership refers to a situation where leaders fail to maintain control or when leadership is either lacking or ineffective. In such groups, members may have insufficient direction and support from leaders, which can lead to confusion, conflict, and lack of cohesion. As a result, without a unifying force or effective communication, these groups often struggle to maintain their structure and purpose, leading to rapid disintegration.

Similarly, having strong leadership contradicts the definition of abdicratic leadership, which is marked by weak or absent guidance. Adaptation to challenges typically requires proactive leadership and teamwork, which abdicratic groups often lack, further contributing to their tendency to break down rather than effectively navigate challenges.
