I'm not sure about D. Conflict suppression doesn't seem like a strategy in the model.

Competing, Collaborating, and Accommodating. Got it. Although, I'm more of a Conflict Escalation kind of guy, myself. Keeps things interesting, you know?

Okay, let's see... Competing, Collaborating, and Accommodating. Easy peasy, just gotta remember that Conflict Reduction and Conflict Suppression aren't actually part of the model. Although, I do enjoy a good ol' fashioned conflict suppression, personally.

I agree with Daniel. Competing, collaborating, and accommodation make sense in conflict handling.

Ah, the good ol' Thomas-Kilmann model. I remember that from my HR class - it's like a conflict management choose-your-own-adventure book, but with less dragons and more passive-aggression.

I think A, C, and E are part of the Thomas-Kilmann model.
