Question:

Users have been complaining about sporadic connectivity to a network resource. You've discovered the issue: the switch port is flapping. The connected equipment is not EEE compliant, yet users require its availability. What should be done to resolve this issue?

A Disable EEE on the switch.
explanation

You'd have to disable EEE on the switch. Because the device attached to it is not EEE compatible, the port is flapping. When port flapping is detected, link flap prevention settings would disable the port and ask the network administrator to enable the port each time it is disabled. You may eventually want to replace the faulty device, but in this case, deactivating EEE on the switch is the best choice.
