Why is the voice of small artisans necessary in collective decisions in handicrafts?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: So that decisions do not favour only larger members
Including small artisans ensures that their experience, needs, and concerns—such as raw-material costs, fair wages, and market access—are considered. Thus, collective decisions do not serve only large producers or influential members. Options B, C, and D reduce quality, transparency, or sales, so they are not purposes of collective decision-making. Exam tip: Link collective decision-making with equal participation and fair representation.
