Why each option

Forcing is a conflict resolution technique characterized by one party pushing their own agenda and viewpoint without regard for the concerns or opinions of others involved in the conflict.

ASmoothing

Smoothing involves minimizing or downplaying differences while emphasizing areas of agreement to reduce tension, not pushing a single viewpoint.

BForcingCorrect

Forcing, or competing, is a win-lose conflict resolution strategy where one party pursues their own concerns at the expense of others, using their position or power to push through their own solution. This technique results in one party getting their way while the other parties' viewpoints are disregarded, effectively pushing a single viewpoint.

CConfronting

Confronting, or problem-solving, involves discussing the conflict directly to find a mutually acceptable solution, not pushing a single viewpoint.

DAvoiding

Avoiding involves withdrawing from the conflict or postponing the issue, effectively ignoring it rather than pushing a specific viewpoint.
