In which situation is exploitation more likely in the supply chain of traditional art?

Correct answer: When the artist does not know the production cost and final selling price

A is correct. If an artist does not know the production cost or the final market selling price, intermediaries may pay the artist less while keeping a larger share of the profit. The artist then cannot negotiate a fair price, increasing the risk of exploitation. In contrast, price transparency reduces this risk. Exam tip: Link exploitation in a supply chain with unequal access to market information.
