Fiedler's contingency theory identifies leader-member relations as one of the three factors that determine the favorability of a situation for a leader. The better the relationships between the leader and subordinates, the more favorable the situation, and the greater the likelihood of successful leadership outcomes. Therefore, A is the correct choice as it refers to the degree of confidence, trust, and respect that subordinates have in their leader, which is central to leader-member relations.
