Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
By going on strike, workers create disruption in the production process which can lead to a decrease in profits for the employer. This can increase the cost of disagreeing with the workers and may encourage the employer to come to a resolution with the striking workers. Withholding labor does not directly impact the employer's management rights, public support, or access to credit.
