What term pertains to mutual discussion and arrangement of terms in an agreement?

• A. Conflict
• B. Negotiation
• C. Depression
• D. Eating disorder

Answer: (B)

Negotiation is the process of mutual discussion aimed at reaching an agreement. It involves both sides sharing proposals, making concessions, and adjusting terms so that everyone’s interests are considered and a final arrangement is agreed upon. This captures the idea of discussing and arranging terms like price, delivery, responsibilities, and timelines in a contract or deal. The other options describe different things: conflict is about a clash or fight, depression is a mood disorder, and an eating disorder is a health condition—none of which involve working out terms through joint discussion. In everyday situations, negotiation shows up when agreeing on a price, service terms, or warranties.
