C
Explanation :
Forewarning is the technique that involves being informed in advance about an attempt to persuade or influence. By being forewarned, Shamir was able to prepare himself with counterpoints to the manager's potential request for a higher percentage of ticket sales. This allowed him to resist the influence and maintain the current level of the manager's percentage.
