Answer 1

SOLUTION

OPTION C & A ARE NOT CORRECT

EXPLANATION:

*In the US the so called public sector is more unionized than the private sector. Union membership in private sector has about 6.2% whereas in public sector it stood nearly 34 %.

*The option A is partially correct but fully incorrect that is over 30% of work force was unionized back in 1950s but it is not so in 60s. Below the table shows more specifically,

YEAR	UNIONIZED WORKFORCE(%)
1950	31.5
1955	33.2
1960	31.4
1965	28.4
1970	27.3

After 1960 there was decline in unionized workforce from 30%

Option C & D are correct statements.

So the statements A&B are not correct.
