A.) collaboratingB.) forcingC.) compromisingD.) accommodatingE.) avoiding

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is (E)

Explanation:

Louisa is using avoiding strategy, which is an important conflict resolution strategy.

In this scenario, it is better to avoid someone rather than to enter into a conflict that could affect the company's goals and objectives.
