Monique Becker · Answer 1

D. increase their hostility

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the research suggests that this opportunity to vent anger will increase their hostility. This is mainly due to the fact that they will express their anger after being laid off and when that does not yield results, they will begin to feel powerless and thus increase their anger and hostility.
