Lawson Gallagher · Answer 1

Answer is C. high power distance culture.

Explanation:

The belief and acceptance that power is not distributed equally, by not-so-powerful members of an organization is described as power distance.

Then, the high power distance culture is the distance between the higher level and lower level people, which has been unfailingly accepted by the former, and they feel undisturbed about it.
