According to Geert Hofstede's study, a country whose nationals display a high level of conservatism, resistance to change, respect for tradition, preference for careful planning over flexibility and improvisation would score highly on the following dimension of Hofstede's study: Select one: a. Power distance b. Masculinity c. Uncertainty avoidance d. Individualism

Answer: Uncertainty avoidance

Explanation: A country whose nationals display a high level of conservatism and among others, shows that she is dealing with the fact that the future cannot be guaranteed or known. This is the principle of uncertainty avoidance under Geert Hofstede's study.

However, a country establishing high uncertainty avoidance usually ensure strict codes of belief and behaviour, and often frown at new ideas, beliefs or behaviors different from the country's perspective.
