Which of the following is an example of an avoidance-avoidance conflict?

A) A person who enjoys the ocean has to choose between retiring in the Bahamas or in Tahiti.
B) A student has to decide whether to turn in an unfinished paper and receive a failing grade or hand it in late and lose many points.
C) A person has to choose between wanting to eat some cake but not wanting the calories.
D) A person who loves chocolate must choose between eating chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream.

An avoidance-avoidance conflict is when an individual must choose between two options, both of which are unappealing. Option A is not an avoidance-avoidance conflict because both options are desirable. Option C is an approach-avoidance conflict because the person desires cake but is avoiding the calories. Option D is also an approach-avoidance conflict because the person desires both options but must choose between them. Option B fits the definition of an avoidance-avoidance conflict because the student is choosing between two options, both of which are undesirable.
