When an individual must choose between two desirable options, leading to a conflict.

• A. Avoidance-Avoidance Conflict
• B. Approach-Avoidance Conflict
• C. Approach-Approach Conflict
• D. Lewin's Motivational Conflicts Theory

Answer: (C)

When someone faces two desirable options, the situation pits one positive outcome against another, creating an approach-approach conflict. The tension arises because each choice offers appealing benefits, so the decision revolves around weighing which option’s positives feel most valuable in the moment. Since both options are attractive, the stress is typically less intense than when choosing between two undesired paths (avoidance-avoidance) or when a single option has both appealing and negative features (approach-avoidance). Lewin’s Motivational Conflicts Theory provides a broader framework for how conflicts arise but doesn’t describe a specific two-desirable-options scenario as clearly as approach-approach.
