Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A secondary boycott occurs when unionized employees target a company (secondary employer) that is not the direct party in the labor dispute, with the aim of pressuring that company to stop doing business with their employer (the primary target of the dispute). This is done to leverage additional pressure on their direct employer by disrupting its business relationships.
