Manipulation involves distorting the facts to make them more attractive, which can lead to a reduction in resistance to change. The other options involve using threats, force, or bargaining to obtain compliance, which are not ethical or productive methods for managing change. Communicating facts clearly and using co-optation (bringing key stakeholders on board with the change process) are better strategies for reducing resistance to change.
