CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 541

A project team is centralized in a cubicle environment. Periodically, one member disturbs other team members by listening to loud music. Which of the following techniques would be BEST for the team to remedy the situation?

Answer options

• A. Confronting
• B. Negotiating
• C. Smoothing
• D. Forcing

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Confronting is the best technique as it directly addresses the issue with the team member causing the disturbance, allowing for a discussion about the impact of their actions. The other options, while they might help in certain situations, do not address the problem as effectively; negotiating may lead to compromises that still allow the disturbance, smoothing might avoid the conflict altogether, and forcing could create resentment.
