In a high Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) relationship, characterized by mutual trust, respect, and obligation, subordinates are typically more comfortable communicating openly with their supervisors. This includes feeling free to interrupt the supervisor when necessary, contrasting with choice A, which suggests a lack of comfort or openness in the relationship. Choices B, C, and D reflect positive aspects of a high LMX relationship, where decision-making is collaborative, career advice is sought and given, and ideas are listened to, respectively.
