The term "popularity" is mentioned in the sentence as a feature that was given disproportionate importance in earlier sociometric studies on group-emergent leadership. Therefore, option B, "popularity," is the best choice. Option A, "extraversion," and option D, "introversion," may also be relevant qualities in group leadership, but the sentence suggests that they were not given disproportionate importance in earlier sociometric studies. Option C, "emotional quotient," is not mentioned at all in the sentence.
