Question

Explanation:

The project manager is insisting on releasing the app as - is despite the team member's concerns about quality defects. In force/direct conflict management, one party imposes its will on the other. Here, the project manager is using their authority to over - ride the team member's concerns. In compromise/reconcile, both parties give up something to reach an agreement. In smooth/accommodate, one party tries to make the other feel better without addressing the real issue. In withdraw/avoid, one party backs down or avoids the conflict. Since the project manager is imposing their decision, it is force/direct.

Answer:

Force/direct
