Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild by Jack London.

Pike, who pulled at Buck's heels, and who never put an ounce more of his weight against the breast-band than he was compelled to do, was swiftly and repeatedly shaken for loafing; and ere the first day was done he was pulling more than ever before in his life. The first night in camp, Joe, the sour one, was punished roundly—a thing that Spitz had never succeeded in doing. Buck simply smothered him by virtue of superior weight, and cut him up till he ceased snapping and began to whine for mercy.

The general tone of the team picked up immediately. It recovered its old-time solidarity, and once more the dogs leaped as one dog in the traces. At the Rink Rapids two native huskies, Teek and Koona, were added; and the celerity with which Buck broke them in took away Francois's breath.

How does the team’s behavior support the theme "effective leaders generate success”?

The team responds favorably to Buck’s leadership.
The team works better with the addition of new dogs.
The team cooperates to honor Spitz’s memory.
The team enjoys the rewards Francois offers for hard work.

answer is A>

The correct answer here is A.
After defeating Spitz for the pack leadership, Buck is the new pack leader and the rest of the dogs respond favorably to his leadership. Spitz was cruel and violent and he was not able to achieve through leadership and team cohesion which we saw here that Buck was able to do.
