I believe D) Intruded power is not a valid source of power, it doesn't make sense in this context.

I agree with Buck, Referent power is about influence based on charisma or personal characteristics.

Power in organizations? More like 'power' in the break room when the coffee machine is broken. Now that's a real struggle!

Intruded power? Is that like when you sneak into the boss's office and take over? Sounds sketchy to me.

Given power? Really? That's just a fancy term for authority, which is so boring.
