Which of the following is considered a form of nonverbal communication?

  1. Writing an email

  2. Facial expression

  3. Discussing over the phone

  4. Text messaging

The correct answer is: Facial expression

Nonverbal communication is any type of communication that doesn't involve words. Writing an email (Option A), discussing over the phone (Option C), and text messaging (Option D) all involve verbal communication as they use written or spoken words. Facial expressions (Option B) are considered a form of nonverbal communication because they convey meaning and messages without the use of words.
