Correct Answer: Disagreeing with each other's ideas.


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

The idiom at cross purposes describes a situation in which two or more people are working or talking about something, but their goals, intentions, or understanding of the situation are different or conflicting. It implies a lack of alignment or agreement among the parties involved.

Therefore, the correct meaning is to disagree with each other's ideas.
