B. collaborating
C. forcing
D. accommodating
E. avoiding

Answer 1

E. avoiding

Step-by-step explanation:

Stopping or refraining from a confrontation does not involves the other party's courage or consideration.

When ignoring the confrontation, one pretends that it has never existed or that it does not exist.

Many forms of avoidance or isolation include claiming that nothing is wrong, stonewalling, or shutting down entirely.
