While speaking with a supervisor can sometimes be appropriate, immediately escalating the issue without first trying to resolve it with Sukhi may create unnecessary tension. Many workplace misunderstandings can be addressed more effectively through respectful, direct communication between colleagues.

Although this keeps the conflict off social media, it still risks spreading negativity or gossip about a colleague. Talking about the issue with others does little to resolve the underlying concern and may make the situation worse if it circulates through the team.

Avoidance rarely solves workplace conflicts. The silent treatment can create confusion, strain teamwork, and allow misunderstandings to grow rather than be resolved through communication.

This is the strongest choice because it shows a professional and calm way to handle a problem. By taking a break first, you make sure you aren't speaking out of anger. Talking directly to Sukhi in private helps clear the air and improves the relationship instead of making it worse.
