According to Morris and Leung (2000), in cultures, people in legitimate positions of authority can treat subordinates more harshly before this behavior is seen as unfair

a. collectivistic
b. individualistic
c. horizontal, egalitarian
d. hierarchical, high-power- distance

d. Hierarchical, high power distance

Explanation:

Morris and Leung report many aspects cultural values and cultural norms.  In 2000 they discussed the aspects and view of power and hierarchy. First, high power distance is the view that the public has concerning those that are in a position of power. Usually those that are in a lesser position of power will view the distribution of power to be uneven. In the aspect of Hierarchy, in this case will cause the power/authority it increase the higher the individual rises in ranks. So this means that persons that are higher in ranks have more authority than those that aren't. More authority gives rise to more power creating the perception that the power is unequally spread through out the demography.

well this isn't a question but if you are asking if it is true or false it is, true.
