It is amazing how we all look at it from their own perspectives. The variety of the answers is just a proof that people see things differently. One sees answer A is good, others find B, C or D, That´s why I tend to say that I comfortable with answer C. You don´t always know what is the exact goal of your counter part. So you cannot say, "I win and let him also win" .... win what? What exactly do I have to give him to make him win?

I believe a win-win situation is when you finish the negotiation you leave with a big smile and wish to kiss the first one you run across. And so does your counter part.

I would go for option A, a win-win situation is a one where all members of any particular contract or business players (supplier/buyer/ intermediary) benefit from a workable agreement where every member benefits though not really in equal sharing but in their own perspective interest at the end of the day.

Ans: Let us split the difference50-50

When the result and answer is "Negotiated" and no compromise over any issues by the counterpart afterwards.

Both A and C are in harmony with the real win-win negociation concept
