Explanation
Answer: D - “Caught between a rock and a hard place” refers to avoidance-avoidance conflict.
Key Takeaway: Avoidance-avoidance conflict refers to those instances when a person faces two equally difficult choices. For example, a small business owner who is reporting low sales is faced with two negative options: to lay off some staff or to borrow more money which increases an already heavy debt burden. Both choices have their negative outcomes for this business owner and he would rather avoid them both.
