Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Medium levels of conflict are constructive because they can lead to new ideas, different perspectives, and better decision making. Too much conflict or too little conflict can both have negative effects on performance. Functional conflict, which is characterized by a focus on the task at hand and a willingness to consider different viewpoints, can lead to positive performance. Dysfunctional conflict, on the other hand, results in negative performance.
