Which of the following conflict resolution techniques results in mutual agreement among conflicting parties?

Forcing involves one party asserting their viewpoint at the expense of others, resulting in a win-lose outcome rather than mutual agreement.

Avoiding is a technique where conflict is ignored or postponed, which does not lead to a resolution or mutual agreement.

Smoothing emphasizes agreeable points and downplays differences, which may reduce tension but does not necessarily lead to a substantive mutual agreement on the core conflict.

Compromise is a conflict resolution technique where each party involved gives up something of value to reach a solution that is partially acceptable to everyone. This 'give and take' approach ensures that all parties feel heard and contribute to the agreed-upon resolution, leading to mutual agreement, even if not every party's ideal outcome.
