a. Hector and Felix are not engaged in conflict because the source of their conflict is not interpersonal.
b. Hector and Felix are not engaged in conflict because conflict must be expressed.
c. Hector and Felix are engaged in conflict because Felix's anger is sufficient to produce conflict.
d. Hector and Felix are engaged in conflict because conflict can exist "under the surface" for some time.

Answer 1

Answer:b-Hector and Felix are not engaged in conflict because conflict must be expressed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conflict can be defined as active disagreement, as between opposing views or needs or may even involve an exchange of words due to different perspectives by individuals.

Although Felix was angry with his roommate due to the loud noise of music he never expressed his feelings to hector to show his dissatisfaction with loud music. So we can say that they are not in conflict.
