Answer - Option B

The wage rate paid to the union workers typically exceeds that of workers in the competitive market.

This is because the unions aim to earn the maximum profits. They take the wages above the equlibrium competitive rate. This is done by either decreasing the supply or increasing the damand. The formation of the unions leads to lesser producer profits. They dont charge the competitive price. Thus 1 st and second statement are not true.
