Any time you have to take a risk to pursue some desirable outcome, you are likely to find yourself in an__________ conflict.

A) approach-approach.
B) avoidance-avoidance.
C) anticipatory-avoidance.
D) approach-avoidance.

An approach-avoidance conflict occurs when there is a single goal or event that has both positive and negative aspects, making it appealing and unappealing at the same time. In this case, the desirable outcome is worth pursuing, but the risk involved creates a negative aspect to the situation. Therefore, an approach-avoidance conflict accurately describes the situation.
