The correct answer is low-context culture.
Low-context culture relies heavily on oral communication - through the use of language. On the other hand, high-context cultures are quite different - they rely on the context, the use of body language, tone of voice, etc. to transmit a particular message to the listener. An example of a high-context culture would be Japan, and America would belong to low-context culture.
