Body language is an example of what kind of communication?

• A. Verbal
• B. Nonverbal
• C. Written
• D. Digital

Answer: (B)

Body language is nonverbal communication—the messages we convey without using words. It includes facial expressions, gestures, posture, eye contact, and other movements that can reinforce, contradict, or replace what we’re saying aloud. Verbal communication uses spoken words, written uses text, and digital refers to messages sent through electronic media, so body language sits squarely in the nonverbal category. For example, a smile can signal friendliness even if the words are neutral, while crossed arms might hint at defensiveness, and cultural differences can affect how a gesture is interpreted.
