Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Conflicts arise when individuals face competing motives, goals, or choices.

Step 1:
Approach-approach conflict occurs when a person must choose between two desirable alternatives. \[ A \text{ is correct} \]

Step 2:
Avoidance-avoidance conflict happens when a person must choose between two unpleasant alternatives. \[ B \text{ is correct} \]

Step 3:
Approach-avoidance conflict occurs when the same goal has both positive and negative aspects. \[ C \text{ is correct} \]

Step 4:
“Adversity opportunity conflict” is not a recognized psychological conflict category. \[ D \text{ is incorrect} \]

Step 5:
Choosing between two lesser evils describes avoidance-avoidance conflict, not approach-approach conflict. \[ E \text{ is incorrect} \]

Step 6:
Thus, the correct combination is: \[ A,\ B,\ C \text{ Only} \] \[ \boxed{\text{(2) A, B and C Only}} \]
