D. agreeing about cause of conflict

Explanation:

We call it “escalation” when a conflict develops, it becomes more complicated and more likely to cause harm to the people (or parties) involved. In conflicting relationships, there is a progressive escalation of conflict resulting from a vicious circle of action and reaction. Each reaction becomes more severe than the action that preceded it, and creates a new issue or point of contention. This model suggests that with this growth, the causes that gave rise to the conflict gradually become secondary, because from that moment on, those involved are more concerned with responding to an action that immediately preceded their reaction. That is, the original causes become secondary.

In short, we can say that conflict escalation arises from neglecting to resolve a conflict. The parties to the conflict have incompatible goals, create power imbalances, and maintain uncompromising positions.
