___involves working through conflict differences and solving problems so everyone wins.

A) Compromise
B) Competition
C) Smoothing
D) Avoiding
E) Collaboration

Collaboration involves working together to find a solution that benefits everyone, rather than focusing on individual gain or concessions (Compromise). It also involves addressing and resolving conflicts and differences instead of avoiding them (Avoiding). Smoothing may be a component of collaboration, but it is not the primary focus. Competition is not a collaborative approach to conflict resolution, as it involves a winner/loser dynamic.
