Ah, the age-old debate of mediation vs. conciliation. I bet the exam writer is just trying to 'mediate' our understanding of the differences. Time to 'conciliate' my thoughts and go with option C!

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'd say the binding nature of conciliation is the real clincher here. Although, I do wonder if the mediator gets to enjoy a nice cup of tea during the session. Decisions, decisions...

Wait, did they say 'conciliator' can provide recommendations? That's the one that makes the most sense to me. Better watch out for those tricky legal terms!

No, they're different. In conciliation, the conciliator can make recommendations, but in mediation, the mediator can't make decisions.

Aha! I remember learning about this in my dispute resolution class. Definitely gotta go with option D - the mediator is more of a facilitator, while the conciliator can actually provide recommendations.

Hmm, I think the key difference is that conciliation is more formal and the outcome is binding, while mediation is more flexible and non-binding. Option C looks like the winner to me.
