I remember learning about the different sources of power in my management class. Referent power, where people follow someone because they admire them, seems like the best fit for this question. I'll go with option A.

Given power? Tactical power? I'm not familiar with those terms in the context of organizational power. I'll have to guess on this one.

Okay, let me see. Referent power is when someone has influence because others want to be like them or associate with them, right? I think that fits the description here, so I'll select A.
