The answer is C - Split labor Market

Explanation:

A split labour market is where one group is paid less or excluded based on gender, race, age, ethnicity or political royalties. This split is exploited by owners in order to weaken the bargaining power of workers.

In this scenario where all-male workforce are threatening to go on strike, the management is trying break worker solidarity by displacing higher paid (all-male workers) by cheaper labor (women).
