Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Breaking off eye contact is a nonverbal cue that signals the end of a conversation or meeting. This is an example of regulating the interaction.

While A and D involve nonverbal cues, they do not regulate the interaction in the same way. In A, the woman rubbing her neck is showing a nonverbal sign of uncertainty, which does not necessarily regulate the interaction. In D, the employee rubbing his nose is also a nonverbal cue, but it does not regulate the interaction in any way.

C is not an example of a regulator because it is a verbal cue, not a nonverbal one.
