Explanation
Choice A is correct. There is no clear winner or loser with compromise, and the solution provides incomplete satisfaction with both parties' concerns. This is not the most effective way to resolve conflict.
Choice B is incorrect. Accommodating is not the most effective way to resolve conflict, as it can create a power imbalance in which one party feels dominant while the other feels undervalued or ignored. Accommodation involves self-sacrifice, which may lead to resentment.
Choice C is incorrect. Suppression of thoughts and feelings reflects the avoidance strategy. Avoidance delays addressing the conflict and does not involve negotiation or shared decision-making, which are essential elements of compromise.
Choice D is incorrect. Satisfaction of an individual's interest, regardless of the impact on others, refers to competing. Competing is a win-lose approach and contrasts with compromise, which seeks balance rather than dominance.
