The four types of leader behavior in the path-goal theory (directive, supportive, participative, and achievement-oriented) are not considered ingrained personality traits and reflect types of behavior that every leader is able to adopt. However, the specific type of behavior that a leader should adopt depends on the situation, such as the nature of the task, the characteristics of the followers, and the external environment. Therefore, the correct answer is (D) all of the choices.
