    b) coercion

    Explanation:

    Coersion is the action of forcing a person to do something they do not want to do. This is usually done by use of threats.

    In this scenario Allison was not on board with the proposed with management plan to produce many different products before Christmas. She also used her influence to slow down the process.

    The management tried to change her mind about the changes. When she did not comply she was fired.

    This tactic by management is called coercion where Allison is being forced to do something she would not do normally with threat of sack if she did not comply.
