The correct sentence in terms of punctuation is:
**Leadership is not about “commanding others” but “inspiring them to achieve greatness!” (Garcia 28).**
However, please note that there was some duplication in your options, which may cause confusion. The key point is that when a quotation ends with an exclamation mark and is followed by a parenthetical citation, the punctuation should be correct, so the proper structure here would place the citation outside of the quotation. If you meant to ask which one is accurately reflected here, the sentence without punctuation after "greatness" aligns most closely with formal standards, but if the exclamation is part of the quoted statement, the structure should be lively.
If one of your options included just ": (Garcia 28)" and the exclamation was part of the quote, then that would be correct as well. Thus, context in source material is key here in multiple-choice contexts.
