All of the following are types of nonverbal communication EXCEPT:

• A. Facial expressions
• B. Body language
• C. Proximity
• D. Spoken words

Answer: (D)

Nonverbal communication is conveying meaning without using words. Facial expressions show emotions, body language includes posture and movements, and proximity signals relationships or intentions through how close or far people stand or sit. Spoken words, on the other hand, rely on language and are verbal communication, not nonverbal. So the item that isn’t a nonverbal type is spoken words.
