Which one of the following is not implied in the definition of power?

A) influence
B) potential
C) dependency
D) actualization
E) control

D
Explanation: D) Power refers to a capacity that A has to influence the behavior of B so B acts in accordance with A's wishes. However, A can have power over B only if A controls something B desires. Someone can thus have power but not use it; it is a capacity or potential. Probably the most important aspect of power is that it is a function of dependency.
