b. The compromise style
c. The withdraw style
d. The compete style

Answer 1

C. The Withdraw Style

Step-by-step explanation:

The Withdraw or Avoid style is a style that completely evades a conflict. This style is mostly used or appropriate in the following conditions:

• when the conflict is judged to be trivial, as in the question, Xena sees the issue as a trivial
• it doesn't require much time to think,
• the person invloved does not see the chance of winning the arguments in the conflict or
• there is a fear of being met with resentment.

In the withdraw style, the conflict can be postponed indefinely or completely avoided anytime it comes up, In this style, the person involved oes not also see the need to pursue or enforce any beliefs but just allows the issue to go as it is.

Other styles include: Accomodating, Collaborating and Competing.
