In a formal meeting a member repeatedly checks a phone and keeps the body turned outward. What may this indicate?

Correct answer: Low interest or disengagement from the interaction

The governing concept is interpreting a cluster of non-verbal behaviours rather than relying on one isolated action. Repeated phone checking divides attention, and turning the body outward reduces physical orientation toward the group. Together these behaviours may indicate low interest or disengagement, making option B correct. They do not reliably prove respect, agreement, or high participation.
