Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
An autocratic leader exercises significant authority and control over group members, rarely seeks or uses their input, and does not encourage their participation or interaction. In a laissez-faire style of leadership, group members are free to operate as they choose. The democratic leader encourages group interaction and participation in group problem solving and decision making.
