    A By adapting and finding ways to work together effectively Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B By becoming frustrated and uncooperative Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C By avoiding interaction and communication with the individuals Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D By attempting to change the individuals' personalities or work styles Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The right answer is a) through adjusting and developing effective methods to collaborate. It is normal in the workplace to work with people who have various personalities, work styles, and backgrounds. Collaboration needs the capacity to adapt and create successful methods to work together. This may entail finding common ground, learning from one another, and making concessions on specific subjects. It is critical to retain a professional demeanour while still respecting each individual's skills and flaws. Frustration and avoidance will not result in fruitful teamwork and may destroy relationships and the workplace.  Similarly, attempting to modify other people's personalities or work patterns is often futile and can be perceived as rude. Instead, it is preferable to concentrate on discovering methods to successfully work despite these disparities.
