change the topic so that he has more time to consider his decision.

say that he considered how fun it would be but he just cannot do it.

suggest that he use a temporary hair dye to color his hair instead.

tell his uncle about the situation and explain that he does not want to.

Explanation:

To counter peer pressure via negotiation, Everett should propose a compromise. Suggesting a temporary dye (option C) is a negotiation as it offers an alternative that meets his friends' desire for him to dye his hair while respecting his preference for a less permanent option. Changing the topic (A) avoids negotiation, the second option (B) is refusal without negotiation, and telling his uncle (D) involves an external party, not direct negotiation with friends.

Answer:

C. Suggest that he use a temporary hair dye to color his hair instead.
