Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smiling and maintaining eye contact when listening is generally associated with warmth and approachability, rather than dominance and power. While this behavior may still be viewed as positive, it is less likely to convey high status and power compared to more assertive or intimidating behavior such as acting aggressively or buying expensive products. Associating oneself with those who already possess status and power may also signal one's own high status and power, so option D could also be a potential answer depending on the context.
