The correct answer is B. high-context.
In high-context cultures, communication relies heavily on non-verbal cues, background information, and the context in which the communication occurs. The choice of words is crucial because it can convey deeper meanings that may not be explicitly stated, making it important to select words carefully to maintain harmony and convey the intended message. In contrast, low-context cultures focus more on explicit verbal communication, where the words themselves carry most of the meaning.
