Explanation:

To determine the healthiest conflict - resolution strategy, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Mark persists until the other person gives in. This is more of a forcing or uncompromising approach, not the healthiest as it doesn't fully consider the other person's needs.
• Option B: Cecilia has a reasoned discussion to get to the root of the problem and is willing to find a middle ground. This collaborative approach, focusing on understanding the problem and compromising, is a healthy conflict - resolution strategy.
• Option C: Philip walks away if he can't find a resolution. Avoiding the conflict doesn't solve it and is not a healthy long - term strategy.

Answer:

B. Cecilia tries to have a reasoned discussion to get to the root of the problem and is always willing to find a middle ground.
