High-contact cultures, such as those in Latin America or the Middle East, value physical touch and use it frequently as a means of communication and expression. In contrast, low-contact cultures, such as those in North America or Northern Europe, place less significance on physical touch and may not use it as frequently. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are inaccurate.
