"Walking away from the table" is the correct phrase used to describe the situation where the parties fail to come to an agreement and end up rejecting the better option on the table. It implies that the negotiations have broken down and there is no further discussion or compromise possible. Options A, B, and D are all variations of "walking away," but they are more extreme and emotional in nature. "Turning one's back" implies a deliberate and rude gesture, while "turning away" and "running away" both suggest impulsive and irrational behavior. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
