question 2 of 9
______ involves a third party making a decision on how to solve the problem, usually based on existing policy or the law.
choose an option below
adjudication
negotiation
arbitration
mediation

Explanation:

Adjudication is a dispute resolution process where an impartial third party (like a judge or adjudicator) makes a binding decision based on existing rules, policy, or law. Negotiation involves parties directly discussing to reach an agreement without a third-party decision-maker. Arbitration is a private process where parties agree to a third party's decision, but it is not always tied to formal existing policy/law in the same structured way as adjudication. Mediation uses a third party to facilitate discussion, but the third party does not make a binding decision.

Answer:

Adjudication
