Answer: The correct answer is d. expert

Explanation: Confirmed correct. Expert power is a type of power that comes from having a high level of knowledge within your area of expertise. Expert power is relative. This means that if two people have varying levels of knowledge on a subject, the one with more knowledge has expert power.
