Option-B Dead line................................................

People respond to deadlines every day, from their work, their spouse, their affiliations, etc. In professional real estate negotiation, this almost automatic response to deadlines can be used as an effective negotiation tactic. Set artificial or real deadlines with the opposing agent to motivate fast action.

Normally, the side with the shortest deadline makes concessions to reach agreement prior to the deadline. A competitive negotiator will try to impose a short deadline to put the other side under pressure. If the opposing agent gives you a short deadline, try to find out why that deadline exists with direct questions.

Thanks for the invite.

It is B - Dead Line. Because putting a time limit on the negotiation is an example of dead line negotiation.

quitting the meeting from one part and even putting time to the negotiations is a kind of unreasonable negotiation , the arrangements of the vendor representative is argued by he must have arrangement of somebody who will take his place , and also before the meeting is held

Option-C: unreasonable

Negotiation must be held in a friendly manner to arrive at a win-win situation. If you are in hurry, you can not explore the issues properly  and negotiate to arrive at a win-win situation. The objective is to negotiate and not to catch a flight. 

If to catch a flight  is the objective, then negotiation will be unreasonable

Option D seems ok. As the scope is already aporoved and needs its agreement from other party.
