C Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase is 'He should be able to ______ the same attitude among his other staff members'. 'Percolate' means to spread gradually through an area or group, making it the best fit for transmitting an attitude throughout a team. 'Facilitate' typically needs a direct object (facilitate something), 'dote' means to show excessive fondness, and 'brittle' means fragile but doesn't fit grammatically or semantically.
