Which statement best summarizes the passage?

A. Only one company, Macmillan Books, was brave enough to stand up to Amazon. And Macmillan won the fight.

B. Amazon came very close to losing a major publisher's books because of the disagreement over how to price e-books.

C. The incident with Macmillan Books gave other publishers hope that they could also stand up to Amazon when they felt that they were being unfairly treated.
