Option A is right, by establishing and following a formal discipline policy, so discipline is fair.

Explanation:

Every organization has its rules and regulation, which include following all the discipline policies of the company. When an employee does not follow them, the company can dismiss that employee. The same thing happened at the Tri-mart. If Tri-mart can prove that they established and followed all the discipline policies, they can protect themselves.
