Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Self - actualization is about personal growth and fulfilling one's potential, not about connecting with employees' feelings. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: Emotional intelligence involves being aware of and managing one's own emotions and being empathetic towards others' emotions. Malik's concern for his employees' feelings and well - being, and his ability to help them maintain a positive attitude shows empathy and understanding of emotions, which is emotional intelligence.
• Option C: Technical intellect is related to technical skills and knowledge, not to emotional aspects of leading people. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: A visionary leader focuses on future goals and a shared vision, not on employees' feelings. So D is incorrect.
• Option E: Autocratic tendencies involve a leader making decisions unilaterally without much regard for employees' input or feelings, which is the opposite of Malik's behavior. So E is incorrect.

Answer:

B. He has a high level of emotional intelligence.
