Why each option

Avoiding, as a conflict resolution technique, involves sidestepping the issue or postponing a resolution without direct engagement.

AReassigning one of the two parties to a different team

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.

BFocusing on common interests

Focusing on common interests is characteristic of collaborative or accommodating conflict resolution styles, aiming for a win-win or mutually beneficial outcome.

CWorking out an agreement that is acceptable to both sides

Working out an agreement acceptable to both sides describes compromising or collaborating, where active engagement and negotiation are used to find a solution.

DNot addressing the conflictCorrect

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.
