Answer:

D. The fishermen knew the fish was contaminated and won a lawsuit

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall, in the article Lee Sherman and the Toxic Louisiana Bayou

By Arlie Hochschild (2016)

, we are told, when Lee Sherman went to the stage uninvited, he boldly wrote on a cardboard sign, "I’M THE ONE WHO DUMPED IT IN THE BAYOU."

That singular act of honesty and courage by Lee Sherman made the fishermen present to know the truth; that the fish were indeed contaminated contrary to the avoidance of guilt made by the company executives, and they filed and won a lawsuit against the PPG company.
