C should be correct

As others have said below, there's really no mention of WHY it should be B. This answer is wrong. It should be compromise/reconcile. They bring some degree of satisfaction to all parties for a temporary or partial resolve of conflict.

Everyone agrees it's C.

Compromise

Compromise/Reconcile Both parties don't get a complete resolution and the solution is not permanent

C for sure

The technique that the project manager should use in this case is B. Smooth/Accommodate. This technique involves playing down differences while emphasizing common interests. The project manager should aim to create a temporary or partial solution to the conflict that satisfies all parties to some degree. This approach may be appropriate when the issue at hand is not critical and when there are time constraints.
