Answer:

C. So you can fully understand their point of view

Step-by-step explanation:

When a conflict arises, its important to fully understand someone's views in order to understand why they respond the way they do. Think of it in this example: imagine a dog that has been abused for most of its life. When someone goes to pet that dog, the dog may be quick to bite or growl at the person. This isn't because it's necessarily a bad dog, but rather because the dog assumed it was going to be harmed because that's what it has experienced in life. People are the same way. To fully understand someone's choices, we have to understand what has happened to that person, or their views, in order for them to make the choices that they do.
