Answer to Question 1

D
Referent power refers to a circumstance in which a person, organization, or interest group en-genders admiration, loyalty, and emulation from others to such an extent that that person gains power to exert influence. Coercive power or reward power is based on the ability to provide or withhold from any person something of value to that person. Expert power refers to an individual possessing information that is valued by others. Legitimate power or positional power is derived from the position that one holds in an organization.
