Ans: B
Feedback:
People of the war generation were used to authoritarian leadership and direct personal interaction with superiors and others. "Baby boomers" respected authority, but wanted recognition for their individual contributions. People who were born between 1965 and 1983 are known as generation X (Gen X) and are likely to want more flexibility in their lifestyles. Whereas their parents were goal-oriented and focused, people in Gen X are more likely to multitask and have more than one career in their lifetimes. People born between 1984 and 2002 are known as generation Y and also want flexibility in life like their Gen X counterparts, but with guidance.
