a. It decreases when change efforts receive significant managerial support.

Explanation:

Resistance to change in an organization is an act of struggling or opposing with the modifications as well as the transformations which alters the status quo. Such resistance can manifest in employees in the workplace.

But when an employee receives a managerial support from the company's management, the resistance to change decreases significantly.

Hence the correct option is (a).
