How closely we stand to others with whom we communicate has a powerful effect on:

A) how we regard others and how we respond to them.
B) the verbal communication more than the nonverbal communication.
C) how we avoid distractions and day dreaming.
D) how we paraphrase and correct misinterpretations.

The distance we maintain while communicating can influence how we perceive and respond to others. When we stand closer to someone, it can indicate a higher level of intimacy or aggression, which can affect our emotional and behavioral reactions to the person. Thus, standing distance is closely related to how we regard and respond to others.
