The correct answer is high power distance.

According to the psychologist Hofstede's theory, there are six dimensions of culture, one of them being power distance. Power distance refers to the extent to which members of a certain culture accept that power and authority lie in the hands of few individuals in society. If the majority in a particular culture accept that power is in the hands of the few, this cultures ranks in high on the power distance dimension.
