Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
High-context cultures, such as those in Asia and the Middle East, rely heavily on nonverbal communication to convey meaning that may not be explicitly stated in the words used. This can include gestures, facial expressions, tone of voice, and other nonverbal cues. In contrast, low-context cultures such as those in the United States and Western Europe tend to rely more on explicit language and may not place as much emphasis on nonverbal communication.
