ABusiness communication

BInterpersonal communication ✓ Correct

CIntrapersonal communication

DNone of the above

Correct answer: (B) Interpersonal communication

Explanation

Touch, or haptics, is an important element in interpersonal communication between individuals.

A handshake, a pat or an embrace conveys warmth, support or connection from one person to another.

Business communication may use touch, but it is a formal setting rather than the category defined by personal contact.

Intrapersonal communication is communication within oneself, where the physical touch of another has no place.

Since touch clearly belongs to interpersonal exchange, the claim that no answer fits does not stand.

Haptics is the technical term for communication through touch.
