Answer:

C. the coattail effect.

Explanation:

-Management by exception refers to reviewing the results of a company and presenting the issues to the management only if they represent big differences from the expected results.

-An economic shakeout at work refers to the situation in which an industry consolidates and businesses are eliminated by the competition.

-The coattail effect refers to the situation in which a franchisee is taken out of business as a consequence of the failure of other franchisees.

-The law of diminishing returns refers to a situation in which adding more factors of production generates smaller increases in the output.

According to this, this is an example of the coattail effect as Zach's business was forced to close as a consequence of what happened with the other franchisees that had to close their businesses.
