Not interrupting others in a meeting is an example of what?

Respectful listening

Respectful listening means paying attention to a speaker, allowing the person to finish, and showing that their ideas are being considered. Not interrupting others in a meeting demonstrates patience, courtesy, and willingness to understand before responding. These behaviours support clear communication and help people work together without unnecessary conflict.

Option A is correct because waiting for another person to finish is a direct sign of respectful listening. Dominance would involve trying to control the discussion, haste would mean acting too quickly, and neglect would mean failing to pay attention. Not interrupting does not mean agreeing with everything; it means giving the speaker a fair opportunity to explain. The supplied answer accurately identifies the workplace soft skill shown in the situation.
