A former student has authored the verbatim posting below. Read it carefully and choose which of the options below best describes it: I was in the process of purchasing a condo about 8 years ago. The seller and I had started off with far apart opening offers, but we were confident that we could get a deal done. After 3 weeks of price changes and concessions we were still in a stalemate. When we were just about to give up, my realtor found out through mutual contacts that the seller was moving to an apartment in NYC for a new job and to be closer to his family. At that point we did a quick analysis of how much it would cost for him to keep his car in a parking garage which he was barely going to use, about $5,000 per year plus insurance, gas, etc. The car I was driving was aging and I had begun to think about buying a new one, so we lowered our offer but included our parking analysis and asked him to add the car. The deal was done shortly after. This situation was mainly distributive as most real estate deals are, but the end result was accomplished by switching to integrative by finding a common goal and problem solving.
A)This scenario includes pure distributive strategies.
B)This scenario is a combination of distributive and integrative strategies.
C)This scenario is a pure integrative strategy.
D)This scenario is neither a distributive nor integrative strategy.
