A is not true as Russians typically nod their head up and down to say yes and shake it from side to side to say no, which is different from people in the United States who typically nod up and down for both yes and no. C is also not true as Puerto Rican friends tend to touch each other more often than French friends. Therefore, the only statement that is true is B, as in Japan, smiling may indicate discomfort or unease, which is different from many other cultures where smiling is often associated with happiness or friendliness.
