Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Marta's tapping foot was a distracting mannerism that she should limit in future presentations. Although vocal variety and limiting vocal fillers are also important, they were not mentioned as issues in the feedback Marta received. Dressing professionally and avoiding eye contact may be important in some settings, but they are not specifically related to the feedback Marta received about her presentation skills.
