Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to methods of resolving conflicts outside of formal litigation (court proceedings). Mediation is a common form of ADR where a neutral third party facilitates a discussion between the disputing parties to help them reach a mutually acceptable solution.
Option A (Litigation): This is the formal legal process of resolving disputes in court, the opposite of ADR.
Option B (Discipline): This refers to corrective actions for employee behavior, not dispute resolution.
Option C (Mediation): Correct, as it is a recognized ADR method.
Option D (Collaboration): While collaboration can resolve conflicts, it is not a formal ADR method.
