Final answer:
The correct answer to the student's question is a work slowdown, which is a form of partial strike used by employees within the bounds of organized labor activities to enact change through collective bargaining. Therefore, the correct option is E.
Step-by-step explanation:
The most common form of a partial strike where employees deliberately slow down the work process by strictly adhering to every rule and procedure is known as a work slowdown. This tactic of organized labor falls under some of the legal rights that labor unions have used in their efforts to improve working conditions and negotiate better terms for their workforce through collective bargaining. A work slowdown is not a full work stoppage like a typical strike but can still exert pressure on management by disrupting usual productivity levels and workflow. In some instances, it could lead to a compromise between labor and management or incite a more robust reaction such as a strike or collective bargaining negotiations.
