Kinesics is the study of human movement, which includes gestures (hand movements, facial expressions), posture (body orientation, positioning), and movement itself. Therefore, option C, which includes all of these aspects, is the best choice. Option A only includes movement and gestures, while option B only includes gestures and posture. Option D includes only gestures and posture, but also includes the additional aspect of adaptors which are not necessarily covered under the term kinesics.
