This question requires matching leadership styles from List I with their corresponding descriptions in List II. We will use the provided correct answer to establish the correct pairings.

Step-by-Step Matching

• (a) Directive autocrat: According to the correct answer, this matches with (ii). Description (ii) states: "Makes decision unilaterally and gives subordinates latitude in carrying out their work". This signifies an autocratic decision process combined with allowing freedom in task execution.
• (b) Directive democrat: The correct answer links this to (iii). Description (iii) states: "Making decisions participatively by close supervision of subordinates". This involves group decision-making but with tight monitoring of the execution phase.
• (c) Permissive autocrat: This is matched with (iv). Description (iv) states: "Making decisions unilaterally, but closely supervising subordinates". This combines unilateral decision-making with strict supervision.
• (d) Permissive democrat: The correct answer maps this to (i). Description (i) states: "Makes decision participatively and gives latitude to subordinates in carrying out their job". This reflects a participative decision style coupled with subordinate autonomy.

• (d) matches with (i)

This corresponds to the code (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i).
