Why each option
Compromising as a conflict resolution technique involves finding a middle ground where each party gives up some of their demands to reach a mutually acceptable, though not fully satisfying, agreement.
Compromising is a conflict resolution technique where parties involved in a conflict partially satisfy each other's concerns by each giving up something. It results in a solution where neither side gets exactly what they want but both gain something they can live with, achieving a 'win-some, lose-some' outcome.
One side making the other side do what they are told describes forcing or competing, not compromising.
Focusing on common interests describes collaborating, which aims for a "win-win" solution, often deeper than compromising.
Not addressing the conflict describes avoiding or withdrawing, not compromising.
