The correct answer is B) Tribunes could reject decisions that were unfair to plebeians.

Eventually, when the plebeians got political power, they also got the ability to become tribunes. Tribunes would go to senate meetings and hearings and if they believed that the senate was working to exploit the people they could veto their decisions and effectively ban them which was in the interest of the people of the republic.
