Question

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) offers an alternative that respects his friends' desire for him to dye his hair while addressing his concerns about permanence, which is a key negotiation tactic (finding a middle ground). Changing the topic (A) avoids negotiation, simply stating he can't (B) is refusal without compromise, and telling his uncle (D) involves an external party, not direct negotiation with peers.

Answer:

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