Correct Answer: among his followers
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation:
The original sentence uses

among
to denote the relationship between someone and a group.
Among is used when referring to relationships within a group, which fits the context of the sentence better. It indicates that his words have a significant impact on the group of people who follow him.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "His words wield tremendous influence among his followers. "
