I'm going with A. A negotiator who shifts position quickly may seem untrustworthy and make it harder to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

Ha! A 'dealer' negotiator being 'very precise'? That's like a bull in a china shop trying to be a ballerina. I'd say D is way off the mark.

I disagree. I believe the correct answer is C. Focusing on the facts and not the people can be a weakness, as negotiation is often about building relationships and understanding the other party's perspective.
