D Correct answer
Explanation

Conciliation is a dispute resolution process involving a neutral third party who helps parties reach a mutually acceptable settlement. It differs from strikes, lock-outs, and retrenchment which are industrial action concepts rather than settlement mechanisms. Conciliation is specifically designed to facilitate settlement of disputes through negotiation and compromise.
