3. the process is not adversarial.

Explanation:

If Farmers Pantry and Market Grocers have a long-standing business relationship that they would like to continue, they may prefer to settle their dispute through mediation because the process is not adversarial.

As long as they would like the relationship to continue, mediation is a good option because mediation is one of the methods of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) which is essentially negotiation managed by a neutral third party who assists in communicating concerns and drafting the final conclusion. It is different from arbitration, because arbitration in certain ways share some similarity with trial.
