Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Interests can be complex and may involve underlying needs or values. It is not uncommon for parties to have different interests or to discover new interests during the negotiation process. A and B are incorrect because there can be multiple types of interests in a dispute, and parties may not be aware of all the interests at stake or may have conflicting views on what those interests are. D and E are incorrect because interests can certainly change during the course of a negotiation.
