Explanation
Answer: C - When a person crosses their arms immediately below their chest during communication, it is a non-verbal cue of defensiveness. Defensiveness may play a part in a variety of situations, only some of which include anger. A person may also feel defensive, but not angry, if they are uncomfortable in a new environment.
