- Contract: Formal contracts are less common in traditional settings; norms/customs are preferred.

- Collective hunts: Such shared activities build cohesion and support leadership.

- Religious ceremonies: Authority is commonly reinforced through religious roles and rituals.

- Now, consider the options:
