The majority of communication is transmitted through which channel?

• A. Tone of voice
• B. Written text
• C. Eye contact
• D. Body language

Answer: (D)

In face-to-face communication, nonverbal signals carry the most meaning. Our body language—posture, gestures, facial expressions, and overall movement—renders attitudes, emotions, and intent that words alone often can’t convey. While tone of voice shapes how words are received and eye contact signals engagement, the broader set of nonverbal cues communicates the bulk of the message’s relational and emotional content. That’s why the option describing body language best accounts for how most communication is transmitted.
