The statement clearly indicates that Jamie's power is derived from her position as a manager. Therefore, the correct answer is B) position power. Personal power is based on personal characteristics such as charisma, expertise, or interpersonal skills, which do not apply in this scenario. Total, social and absolute power are not relevant concepts in organizational behavior.
