Which statement best describes the compromising strategy?

• A. It requires one party to concede entirely to the other.
• B. Both individuals participate in the decision to reach a middle ground.
• C. It ignores the conflict and continues as if unresolved.
• D. It involves authority figures making the final call.

Answer: (B)

Compromise in conflict resolution means both sides participate in deciding a solution that sits in the middle, with each party giving up something to reach an acceptable outcome. This approach emphasizes give-and-take so neither side wins outright or ignores the issue. In practice, both people adjust their positions to find a middle ground that works for both. The statement that best describes this is that both individuals participate in the decision to reach a middle ground. Other options describe different strategies: one side conceding entirely is yielding, ignoring the conflict is avoidance, and leaving the decision to authorities is an imposed or authoritative resolution.
