The mediator doesn't make decisions, that's a key difference.

I believe the main difference is that a conciliator can suggest solutions, while a mediator just facilitates. But I might be mixing it up!

Okay, let me think this through. Mediation is cheaper than conciliation, right? And the mediator can't make decisions, but the conciliator can. I think I've got a good handle on this concept.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the differences between mediation and conciliation. I'll need to review my notes on the dispute resolution processes to make sure I understand the distinction.

I think the key difference is that mediation is voluntary while conciliation is mandatory. The outcome of mediation is also not binding, but the outcome of conciliation is binding.

The way I see it, the main difference is that a mediator has no decision-making power, while a conciliator can provide recommendations. I'm pretty confident I can identify this distinction on the exam.

Ah, the age-old debate of mediation vs. conciliation. I bet the exam writer is just trying to 'mediate' our understanding of the differences. Time to 'conciliate' my thoughts and go with option C!

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'd say the binding nature of conciliation is the real clincher here. Although, I do wonder if the mediator gets to enjoy a nice cup of tea during the session. Decisions, decisions...

Aha! I remember learning about this in my dispute resolution class. Definitely gotta go with option D - the mediator is more of a facilitator, while the conciliator can actually provide recommendations.

Hmm, I think the key difference is that conciliation is more formal and the outcome is binding, while mediation is more flexible and non-binding. Option C looks like the winner to me.
