Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Liam's trust is based on his knowledge of his colleagues' behaviour and decisions. He knows what to expect from them, and this familiarity allows him to work comfortably alongside them. This is an example of knowledge-based trust. The other options do not fit this scenario as well: identification-based trust is based on a shared sense of identity or values, evaluation-based trust is based on performance evaluations, and calculus-based trust is based on rational calculations of risk and reward.
