Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. Collective bargaining

In this scenario, the union used collective bargaining as a strategy to negotiate for higher wages. Collective bargaining involves the union representative engaging in discussions and negotiations with the employer on behalf of the workers to reach an agreement regarding employment terms, including wages. By gathering the consensus of the workers and meeting with the factory owner, the union representative facilitated the collective bargaining process, resulting in an agreement to increase wages.
