Which statement provides the most logical explanation of why union workers who had been blacklisted following the Pullman Strike found it almost impossible to find another job?

A blacklist was a record employers used to identify workers they considered undesirable, often because of their union activity. Other employers could then refuse to hire them, viewing them as troublesome or dangerous. This makes D, “Blacklisted workers were viewed as troublesome, untrustworthy, and even dangerous by other employers,” the most logical explanation; the other choices describe consequences not inherent to being blacklisted.
