Lucian Rowe · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "B": relationship.

Explanation:

In the corporate world, relationship conflicts arise when two employees confuse their job relationships with their personal relationships. This implies having one employee providing "special" favors to the other or even granting the other employee benefits that do not correspond to that worker. The firm is the most affected by these activities since one employee's efficiency could increase but the other's efficiency decreases.
