CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 114

Two team members completely disagree on how to complete a specific task. The project manager observes the conflict but takes no immediate action.
Which of the following techniques is the project manager using?

Answer options

• A. Compromising
• B. Smoothing
• C. Withdrawing
• D. Accepting

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The project manager is using the withdrawing technique, which involves avoiding engagement in the conflict. This approach does not facilitate resolution and instead allows the disagreement to persist. The other options suggest varying levels of engagement or resolution efforts, which are not being utilized in this scenario.
