Answer:

Holmes is running for congress and has to decide whether to tell the truth about his use of drugs in high school. This is an example of an approach-avoidance conflict.

Option: (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Approach avoidance conflict is understood by the psychological sate wherein a goal is defined, and the goal has both the negative and positive effects and thus the goal is both 'desirable and undesirable' at a same time.
  • This type of conflict occurs in decision making situations where the individual has to accept some negative and some positive aspects of the decision regardless of the choice, he/she makes.
  • Although this may cause stress to decision maker, finding a equilibrium point may help the decision maker to be well aware about the effects of his decisions.
