Facial expressions and gestures are examples of which communication?

Correct answer: Non-verbal communication

The direct answer is B: non-verbal communication. Communication means sharing information, feelings, or ideas. It is non-verbal when the message is conveyed without spoken or written words, through facial expressions, gestures, posture, eye contact, movement, or tone-related body signals. A smile may show friendliness, while crossed arms may suggest discomfort, although context always matters. Option A, written communication, uses words in letters, messages, reports, or notices, so facial expressions and gestures are not written communication. Option B is correct because expressions and gestures are forms of body language and body language is non-verbal communication. Option C, technical communication, concerns specialised information, instructions, or procedures; it may use words, diagrams, or demonstrations but is not the specific category asked here. Option D, financial communication, concerns money, accounts, budgets, or financial information, not ordinary gestures and expressions. Memory cue: no words, but a message through the body, means non-verbal communication.
