Answer 1

The correct answer is option d: approach approach.

Explanation : Conflict can be defined as a state of pull or struggle arising due to incompatible or opposing/contradictory goals, needs or desires. They can be further divided into various sub types. When the conflict is between two goals or srimulus that are equally appealing and have positive valence it is approach approach type of conflict. When the two stimuli are equally unoleasant and have negative valence it is termed as avoidance avoidance conflict.Approach avoidance conflict happens when the same single goal or stimuli is both appealing and unappealing both at the same time and when this is for multiple goals or stimuli it is multiple approach avoidance conflict. In the above case two stimuli that are equally positive with equal positive valence has to be chosen. Thus this is approach approach type of conflict.
