Answer 1

Answer: avoidance

Explanation:

Conflict avoidance occurs when a person avoids conflict by not reacting to it and rather changes the subject or avoids fighting back.

Since the person doesn't confront the child whom talking incessantly while repeatedly kicking the back of the seat but rather occasionally turns around and fidgets in the seat, then the type of conflict-management style being exhibited is avoidance.
