Extending organizing means expanding the reach of the union to include more workers, which reduces competition with nonunion workers. This allows the union to set standards and improve conditions for more workers beyond just union members. Requiring equivalent pattern agreements (A) can help ensure fairness between union and nonunion workers, but it doesn't directly reduce competition. Covering only nonunion labor (B) means the union would be ignoring potential members and not expanding its reach. Unionizing only the dominant producer (D) may be effective in reducing competition with nonunion workers at that particular company, but it doesn't address nonunion competition more broadly.
