Nonverbal communication is tied to culture. Option C is correct.

Nonverbal communication describes the way people send and receive information to each other beyond words. Even thoug, nonverbal communication is a universal phenomenon, meanings of nonverbal cues are not universal. Nonverbal cues change tremendously across cultures and are often ambiguous.

High-context cultures rely too much on nonverbal communication, employing elements including the closeness of their relationships, strict social hierarchies and deep cultural knowledge to convey meaning. On the contrary, “low-context” cultures depend largely on words themselves.

Answer:

C). Culture.

Explanation:

Non-verbal communication is demonstrated as communication without employing the verbal language(use of words). It includes the facial expressions or gestures displayed or the body language, posture and appearance, behavior, etc. to communicate the feelings or emotions.

As per the question, non-verbal communication is tied to 'culture' as an individual's personality and behavior is highly influenced by his/her cultural background. As the culture varies, so does the expression of emotions by people(people with distinct cultural backgrounds have distinct ways to communicate or express themselves non-verbally). Thus, option C is the correct answer.
