The communication style most likely to lead to conflict is the **aggressive communication style**. This style is characterized by expressions of hostility, loudness, accusations, and a lack of respect for others' viewpoints and feelings. People who communicate aggressively often dominate conversations, belittle others, and fail to listen, which can create tension and escalate conflicts.
Other styles that can also lead to conflict include passive-aggressive communication, where a person indirectly expresses resentment or anger instead of addressing issues directly, and passive communication, which can lead to misunderstandings if feelings and needs are not clearly expressed. However, aggressive communication tends to be the most overtly conflict-provoking.
