Answer 1

The type of action within a discussion that tends to become a catalyst to conflict is "responding with inflammatory behaviors." This behavior can provoke strong emotional reactions and escalate tensions, leading to arguments and conflict. Disagreeing, in contrast, can lead to productive discussions if handled respectfully, while active listening skills tend to promote understanding and minimize conflict. Not participating may lead to misunderstandings but is less likely to directly cause conflict.
