This approach may be used when the individual wants to maintain peace, avoid confrontation, or believes that the conflict will resolve itself over time.

    Accommodating refers to a conflict resolution style where one party allows the other party to satisfy their concerns while neglecting their own. In this approach, individuals prioritize maintaining harmony and preserving relationships over asserting their own needs or desires. It involves being flexible, understanding, and willing to make concessions to reach a resolution that satisfies the other party. This style encourages cooperation and can be effective in situations where preserving relationships is important or when one party has less power or interest in the conflict.

    C. Forcing
    Explanation
    Forcing refers to the act of using one's formal authority or power to resolve a conflict, disregarding the concerns of the other party involved. This approach involves imposing one's own interests and decisions onto the other party, often without seeking their input or collaboration. It can be seen as a more aggressive and dominant approach to conflict resolution, where one party seeks to assert their control and satisfy their own concerns without considering the needs or perspectives of the other party.

It involves making concessions and finding a middle ground where both parties are willing to give up certain demands in order to reach an agreement. This approach aims to maintain harmony and avoid further escalation of the conflict by finding a mutually agreeable solution.
