Answer 1

Answer: (B)

To own responsibility even when someone else has made a mistake.

• The leader builds long-term loyalty, trust, credibility, commitment, and morale in your team, and it gives your people a confidence boost.
  
• It also shows that you are focused on your team's well-being and interests, rather than on yourself.
  
• This helps to create a positive working environment and shows everyone that you're a leader worth following.
  
• After all, your responsibility as a leader is to support your people appropriately and to make sure that they have everything they need to do their jobs effectively.
  
• When things go well, the leader shares the credit and rewards.
