C. Complete Independence from Britain
Answer:
The correct answer is B.bargain in order to obtain the property rights of the gopher habitat.
Explanation:
In economics, the Coase Theorem states that in a market where transaction costs are negligible, a dispute between parties where property rights are involved will lead to a bargaining process where the party that gives the most value to whatever it's in dispute will end up winning rights over that property. In this case, the environmental group assigns great value to protecting the habitat of the Wyoming pocker gopher, but they can only fully secure its well-being by securing property rights over said habitat, and given their standing, they can expect to bargain or negotiate successfully. Any other option, like protesting, boycotting, or lobbying, won't be good enough to achieve their goals.
Since they viewed it as a great way to 'decrease the surplus population', having a different, more sympathetic outlook would have helped. Giving them food they could cook and eat would also have helped: the Irish had a lot of trouble trying to prepare and eat the Indian meal they sent. They could also have opened more soup kitchens, told the landlords to show a little leniency and stop evicting people because heir livelihoods were gone and their means of paying rent with them. But they wanted to get rid of the Irish, and so they did. There was a famine in the Scottish Highlands in 1846 and because of charitable efforts nowhere near as many people died. They could have saved them by showing charity, but they didn't.
