Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
During a slow demand period, companies may not have the financial means to meet the demands of a striking union. Therefore, it is more likely that the union's conditions will be rejected as the company cannot afford the loss of revenue from a strike. Option A is not the best choice as it assumes that the company has the means to meet the union's demands, which may not be the case during a slow demand period. Option C is not a viable option as it is not professional for companies to laugh at union threats. Option D is not the best choice as Options A and C are not viable.
