Answer 1

C. the supply is vital to the organization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bargaining is the act of exchanging, whether fraudulently or not, an object for another; It is the strength of a person or group when discussing prices, putting pressure and demanding, for example, higher quality at a lower price. A supplier's bargaining position is especially strong when supply is vital to the organization, because the organization will need to buy that supply regardless of the price the supplier requests.
