Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Exclusive representation was intended to protect workers from company-dominated unions. It ensured that only one union could represent the workers in a particular workplace, making it more difficult for the company to manipulate multiple unions and control the workforce. This was a way to give workers more power and ensure fair negotiation between management and labor.
