Annette is representing Jackson Hauling, a new commercial trash collection service, in a negotiation with the house manager of one of the local university's social fraternities. Annette first plans to suggest that her company can place a larger dumpster behind the fraternity house than the current dumpster the other collection service company provides. She then plans to propose that the group's trash be picked up twice a month. She hopes the frat will accept a once-a-week pickup given the larger size dumpster provided, and she knows that because Jackson is a "small-time" startup company with only a limited number of trucks, the most she can offer is twice weekly pickup. Twice monthly pickup is Annette's ________ position.
A. average
B. minimum
C. target
D. maximum
