Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This dilemma is characterized as a resource dilemma because the five students are sharing a limited resource (ice) and are experiencing conflicts over its use and maintenance. Despite their initial pact to refill the ice trays, they are unable to sustain their cooperation and eventually face a shortage of ice.
