AHard skills
BSoft skills ✓ Correct
CConceptual skills
DPolitical skills
Correct answer: (B) Soft skills
Explanation

The ability to understand, communicate with, motivate and support people individually and in groups defines soft skills.

Soft skills are people-centred abilities such as communication, empathy and teamwork.

Hard skills are technical, measurable abilities tied to specific tasks, not this human dimension.

Conceptual skills are about seeing the organization as a whole and thinking strategically.

Political skills concern gaining influence and navigating power, a narrower aim than supporting people.

Soft skills are increasingly prized for effective collaboration at work.
