Holmes is running for congress and has to decide whether to tell the truth about his use of drugs in high school. This is an example of an approach-avoidance conflict.
Option: (D)
Explanation:
Approach avoidance conflict is understood by the psychological sate wherein a goal is defined, and the goal has both the negative and positive effects and thus the goal is both 'desirable and undesirable' at a same time.
This type of conflict occurs in decision making situations where the individual has to accept some negative and some positive aspects of the decision regardless of the choice, he/she makes.
Although this may cause stress to decision maker, finding a equilibrium point may help the decision maker to be well aware about the effects of his decisions.
