If individuals on each side of this dispute came to understand the alternative view, the most likely thing to happen would be the development of a compromise between the views.

Option: (D)

Explanation:

The idea of not spanking children at all and the idea of spanking children in order to make them follow discipline and order would be the two different views possessed by the people standing opposite to each other. At the end of the discussion, they would most likely form a view that it would be okay to spank children only when it is necessary and not all the time as if it the only option to make them follow the discipline and order.
