The correct answer is A. The mayor's actions demonstrate collaboration as a leadership quality.

Explanation:

In the present situation, there is a specific need to solve the economic problems of the city by the Mayor. Thus, it uses as a means of resolution the creation of a task force made up of opponents and supporters to debate possible solutions and reach an agreement on the matter, which will best benefit the city and its inhabitants.

In this way, the Mayor is using the collaboration strategy, by which he integrates different antagonistic political positions and includes these so that the decision taken is accepted and defended by the entire political spectrum, as all have collaborated in the decision taken.
