Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Charisma is a term often used to refer to the personal magnetism and charm exerted by leaders like JFK and MLK Jr. Referent power, on the other hand, is a type of power that arises from others' identification with and admiration for the leader. Charismatic leaders often have referent power as well, but they are not the same thing.
