All the three options are correct.

Explanation:

In the above-mentioned case, there is a conflict between Frank and Samantha. There are few conditions that satisfy a situation to be declared as a conflict, like:

There must be expressed struggle. The goals of the parties involved in the conflict should not match i. e. should be incompatible in nature. Also, in the given case, due to the scarce availability of resources, it is not possible to fulfill the requirements of Frank as well as Samantha's. Therefore, either of them has to compromise with their desire. This has led to conflict between them.
