The correct answer is B) surrounding people and events.

The following were not taken into consideration in order to accurately interpret not verbal behavior: surrounding people and events.

Nonverbal communication is very important in human interactions. It could be in the family environment, at the office or in public places. Nonverbal communication complements or reinforces words. Sometimes it can reveal the intention of the words. That is why words should be matched by our nonverbal signs: posture, expressions, hands movement, and many others. Competent nonverbal communication requires perception, knowledge, and observation. That was the case with the boss example of this question. When he realized that you were chatting, he did not take into consideration surrounding people and events.
