Before the 20th century, the employer/employee relationship was characterized by private contract between employers, who controlled resources, and employees, who contributed labor. The employers held the majority of the power in this relationship. As businesses grew larger, employees banded together in the form of unions in an attempt to create a greater balance of power between the two sides of the private contract. By allowing unions to survive and grow, employers are partially responsible for the current environment in which unions threaten industry by demanding prohibitively high prices for their labor.
The two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first provides background information that is necessary for the conclusion; the second states the conclusion that is subsequently drawn.
(B) The first establishes evidence for the conclusion that is drawn in the second boldface portion.
(C) The first provides an inference that can be drawn from the passage; the second states the conclusion that is subsequently drawn.
(D) The first provides evidence that defends the position the author eventually takes; the second states the main conclusion of the passage.
(E) Each portion provides evidence for the conclusion that is presented

Can we say that the first boldface does not contribute to the second boldface (conclusion) at all? How can it be inferred from the passage?

IMO, the OA needs to be corrected.
First Boldface ---> is not an inference. In fact, it's a statement regarding the power with then employers. This statement (acting as a Premise) is necessary, since it provides background information that is necessary for the conclusion.
Second Boldface ---> states the conclusion that is subsequently drawn.
(A) should be the CORRECT answer.
