Tiana and Jenny were doing all the work on their group project. The other two group members hadn't contributed anything to the project. Their professor required all group project members to fill out project time logs to show how much time they had put into the group project. The professor would use the time logs to determine how the final project grade would be distributed to each group member. Consequently, the absent two members of Tiana and Jenny's project group received a mark of zero on their group project. Tiana and Jenny's professor uses which approach to conflict management?
A) Gave additional resources to Tiana and Jenny's team.
B) Ignored the problem entirely, unfortunately.
C) Adjusted the reward system with the use of the time logs.
D) Placed the absent team members on a different team.
E) Appealed to the absent students to get to work on the project.
