Which is a common source of conflict in projects?

Too many resources
Low stress environments
Clear roles/responsibilities
Scarce resources

The correct answer is: Scarce resources

Scarce resources are a common source of conflict in projects because when resources are limited, team members may compete for them, leading to tensions and conflicts. This scarcity can result in delays, quality issues, or failure to meet project objectives due to the lack of necessary resources. On the other hand, options A, B, and C are less likely to be common sources of conflict in projects. Too many resources can actually be helpful if managed effectively, low stress environments usually do not lead to conflict, and clear roles and responsibilities help in defining expectations and reducing misunderstandings among team members.
