Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
A win-win negotiation approach seeks solutions that satisfy the core interests of all parties, preserving the relationship and preventing future grievances. Win-lose outcomes breed resentment, while avoidance allows conflicts to fester and worsen. Escalating conflict publicly damages trust and makes resolution more difficult, undermining the relationship further.
