Abhinav's response demonstrates an understanding of the importance of version control and mentions the use of Git in team collaboration. However, the response is somewhat disorganized and lacks a clear example of resolving a merge conflict. To improve, Abhinav should focus on providing a specific instance of a merge conflict he resolved, detailing the steps he took to address it, as illustrated in the benchmark response. This would show a more applied experience with Git and the ability to handle common version control issues.
