Correct answer: A
Concept
Kinesics is the study of meaning conveyed through body movement, posture, gestures, facial expression, and gaze. These non-verbal cues can reveal social position and involvement, while the capacity to perceive, express, and respond to non-verbal emotion reflects an aspect of emotional competence or emotional quotient.
The governing test is whether an attribute can be inferred from bodily behaviour itself, rather than from a political trajectory or an ambiguity in verbal language.
Application
Posture and use of space can signal social status; gaze, body orientation, and responsiveness can indicate the level of involvement; facial and bodily expressions carry affect, while a person's sensitivity and response to such cues reflect aspects of emotional quotient.
Contrast
Political mobility concerns movement or advancement within political roles, not a category of meaning carried by body movement.
Language ambiguity concerns multiple interpretations of words or symbols; kinesic cues may add context, but ambiguity itself belongs to verbal or symbolic language.
Result
Thus kinesics can communicate social status, level of involvement, and emotional quotient.
