Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kinesics refers to the study of body language which includes human movement, gestures, and posture. Therefore, option C which includes all three is the best choice. Option A includes the use of space which is not specifically mentioned in the definition of kinesics. Option B only includes gestures, use of space, and posture but misses out on the broader category of human movement. Option D mentions adaptors which are a specific type of nonverbal behavior and not a part of the general term kinesics.
