Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Situational theories suggest that leaders change their approach depending on the situation. Transactional leaders use reward and punishment to gain the cooperation of followers. Transformational leaders use methods that inspire people to follow their lead. Transformational leaders work toward transforming an organization with the help of others. The authoritarian or autocratic leader exercises strong control over subordinates.
