The correct answer is letter B

When calling attention to the need that subjects have to find themselves in situations of presence, Bodem and Molotcha (1994) come to characterize it as a “compulsion of proximity”. For these authors, the presence “facilitates access to the part of the body that never lies - the eyes, windows of the soul”. For them, electronic communication is less reliable and more subject to ambiguous interpretations, abuses and confusions than face-to-face communication. The reticence expressed on a theoretical plane evidently has its correlates in common sense thinking.
