a. I did not give in to their demands by talking to them.
b. I did not give in to their demands, by talking to them.

Which of them matches which of the following ones:
1. By talking to them, I managed not to give in to their demands.
2. I did give in to them.But it was not by talking to them that I gave in to them (it was through some other action...)
3. Just because I talked to them doesn't mean I gave in to them
4. I did NOT talk to them. That would be giving in to them.
b. I did not give in to their demands, by talking to them.
c. By talking to them, I did not give in to their demands.
