The best form of power are Reward or Expert. Reward is not choice, and you are new organization so you do not have history in organization go gain “expert” status. In given situation “Formal” is only logical choice.

I agree with answer it should be Formal.
It is not required to select 'expert' power though it is best in every situation.
