Why each option
Avoiding, as a conflict resolution technique, involves sidestepping the issue or postponing a resolution without direct engagement.
Reassigning a party to a different team is a form of personnel management or environmental change, not a direct technique for resolving the conflict itself.
Focusing on common interests is characteristic of collaborative or accommodating conflict resolution styles, aiming for a win-win or mutually beneficial outcome.
Working out an agreement acceptable to both sides describes compromising or collaborating, where active engagement and negotiation are used to find a solution.
Avoiding, as a conflict resolution technique, means ignoring the conflict, delaying discussion, or withdrawing from the situation without attempting to resolve it. This approach allows the conflict to persist unresolved, often leading to potential escalation later.
