Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": cooptation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cooptation consists of letting individuals be part of a high-ranked group -without that group necessarily consenting it, normally to control the opposition or to keep the overall group stability. The individuals who are coopted are given a certain degree of importance to avoid them affecting the organization's goals.
