Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Historically, Australian unions have been organized on the basis of specific crafts or occupations. This means that rather than being general unions that represent workers across a range of industries or professions, they focus specifically on representing the interests of workers in a particular industry or occupation. This model has been particularly influential in Australia's manufacturing and construction industries.
