Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The statement "The new work schedule is posted for the next six weeks" indicates a unilateral decision made by the nurse manager without seeking input or collaboration from the staff, which is a characteristic of an autocratic leader. The other statements suggest a more collaborative and democratic leadership style.
