Answer 1

The correct answer is avoidance.

Avoidance refers to a conflict resolution technique that involves ignoring or not responding to provocation. Avoidance is an effective technique to resolve and deal with trivial conflicts, however, for more serious conflicts, avoidance does not resolve conflicts and usually backfires since conflicts can resurface when suppressed.
