Answer to Question 1

B
Conflict involves disagreement in values or beliefs within oneself or between people that causes harm or has the potential to cause harm. Folger, Poole, and Stutman (2012) add that conflict re-sults from the interaction of interdependent people who perceive incompatibility and the poten-tial for interference.
