Axelrod's conditions suggest that people using the tit-for-tat strategy will generally cooperate, but may defect if the other person defects first or if they do not expect to interact with the other person again in the future. So, while people may defect under certain conditions, cooperation is still the default behavior. Therefore, choice C is the best option.
