Select the sentence in which the preposition is used idiomatically and correctly.
The manager has great influence over the employees.
The idiomatic collocation in English is 'to have influence over' someone, meaning to have power or control affecting that person's actions.
'Influence among' would suggest being one of several influences within a group, not power over specific people, and adding 'by them' makes the sentence ungrammatical.
'Influence through' and 'influence at' are not standard idiomatic prepositional pairings with 'influence' in this sense.
Therefore, the correct sentence is 'The manager has great influence over the employees.'
