Answer: (A).

The "Directive" leadership style in path-goal theory is the same as task-oriented leadership in the behavioral perspective of leadership.

Explanation:

The path-goal theory requires a leader to choose what style of leadership best fits the needs of his followers.

The directive leadership style under the path-goal theory is a style where the leader instructs his followers on how to perform their jobs to achieve the goals of the organization.

This is similar to the task-oriented leadership in which the leader mainly focuses on the tasks that need to be performed to meet the organization's goals and drives employees towards performing those tasks.
