The sentence mentions that the employee occupies an important place in the department, which is denoted by the chair to her right. The word that best fits this description is "status," which means a person's position or rank in relation to others. The other options (importance, age, and seniority) may be related to her status, but they do not capture the essence of what her position exemplifies.
