Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Successful logrolling involves the parties agreeing to a trade-off of multiple issues, with each party achieving their highly preferred outcome on at least one issue. This is precisely what option A describes. Option B is incorrect as it assumes that the parties only need information about each other's interests and an increase in resources to resolve the problem. Option C is incorrect as it only involves one party obtaining their objectives and then compensating the other party, rather than both parties achieving some of their objectives. Option D is incorrect as it involves reformulation of the problem, which is not a necessary step for logrolling to be successful.
