D
The disadvantage of avoiding is that it can become bigger than anticipated, and it might be more
important to one person or group than to others. In collaboration, the disadvantage is that it takes a lot
of time and requires commitment in order to succeed. The disadvantage of confrontation is that it may
leave an impression that conflict is not tolerated, and it may make something big out of nothing. In
competing, the disadvantage is that it produces a loser, which may cause anger and resentment on the
losing side.
