Which strategy is characterized by low interest in both people and task orientation and seeks to avoid engagement?

• A. Evade Strategy
• B. CNS
• C. Brainstorming
• D. Comply Strategy

Answer: (A)

The statement describes an approach where both people and task are given little attention, and the goal is to stay out of the process entirely. This evasion strategy centers on disengagement: withdrawing from relationships and avoiding action to prevent any commitment or involvement in solving the problem.

Brainstorming, by contrast, is about actively seeking input and generating ideas with others, so it clearly fits a high-engagement, task-oriented approach. Comply strategy involves responding to others' expectations and working with them to some degree, which means engagement with people. CNS is not a collaborative strategy at all; it’s a term for the central nervous system, not a problem-solving approach.
