Which statement lists the attributes of an Army leader?

• A. A leader with presence, A leader with intellectual capacity, A leader with physical strength
• B. A leader with integrity, A leader with charisma, A leader with decisiveness
• C. A leader of character, A leader with presence, A leader with intellectual capacity
• D. A leader who excels in physical fitness only

Answer: (C)

Army leadership rests on three core attributes: character, presence, and intellect. Character covers the moral and ethical qualities a leader demonstrates—integrity, courage, self-discipline, and values you can trust. Presence is how the leader shows up to others—their bearing, confidence, and the impression they create, which affects how soldiers follow and how the team functions. Intellect encompasses judgment, critical thinking, knowledge, and the mental ability to analyze situations and adapt.

The statement that lists a leader of character, a leader with presence, and a leader with intellectual capacity matches these official attributes exactly. It highlights all three foundational qualities leaders are expected to cultivate and display.

Other options either emphasize traits not included in the three official attributes, or focus on just one aspect (like physical fitness) without covering character and intellect, or mix in attributes such as charisma or decisiveness that aren’t part of the canonical trio.
