Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Deadlock.

Deadlock is the suitable option.

When parties are unable to come to an agreement, there is a deadlock and no progress can be made. This is the same as "impasse," which describes a circumstance in which progress is stopped.

Compared to other options

Resolution: The opposite of an impasse refers to coming up with a plan of action to resolve a conflict or issue.

Harmony: In contrast to an impasse, harmony is a condition of agreement or peaceful cohabitation.

Peaceful: This term denotes a condition free from conflict or disturbance.
