Answer: Bargaining

Explanation: This type of communication generally involves negotiation, such as in some business transactions where there is an agreement reached during the negotiation of mutual benefit.

When it comes to bargaining communication in the social sense, and therefore also in the family, then this kind of communication is actually an adaptation of one's own needs, a position in order to come up with a mutually beneficial solution. Each participant in such communication starts from a certain position, and of course his / her position is important, but with such communication each participant makes a certain acceptable deviation from the starting position in order to reach a compromise, but a solution is reached that meets the needs of all participants, communication, that is, fulfils everyone's wishes and needs.
