The correct answer is: Avoidance.

Explanation:

Conflict avoidance can be conceptualized as a conflict management technique in which the person who engages in it tries to defuse a potential conflict by avoiding confrontation.

In this particular case, Kira's real opinion is that the team has to circle back in a week. To this proposition, Sarah Disagrees. She believes that to be a waste of time.

To this antagonistic take on Kira's proposition, Kira decides to comply and agree with what Sarah said.

This is an example of conflict avoidance.
