Option A

Explanation:

Unlike the Ohio State studies, the University of Michigan studies on leadership placed the defined dimensions of leadership behavior on opposite ends of a single continuum. The Ohio State University studies approach places two leadership behaviors at opposite ends of the same continuum, making it one-dimensional with two styles. The University of Michigan model considers the two behaviors independent of one another, making it two-dimensional with four styles.
