Answer option B is correct.
The NLRB will conduct a decertification election if the employees present a petition signed by 30 percent of the employees in the bargaining unit. Management may not participate in or encourage employees to circulate the petition or provide any support in the process. Doing so is considered an unfair labor practice. A union can be deauthorized (C) if employees want to remove a union security clause, such as dues check-off. If there is a valid CBA in place (D), the NLRB will not direct an election. The NLRA prohibits an election if one took place during the preceding 12 months (A).

I’m leaning towards option A, but I wonder if there’s a chance it could be B since business management also deals with changes in needs.

I feel like human resource development might also touch on these topics, but it seems more focused on training rather than entry and exit.
