The correct answer is A. Symbolic speech

Step-by-step explanation:

Speech can be classified in pure speech and symbolic speech. In the case of pure speech, this is the regular communication that uses oral or written words to convey a message. On the other hand, symbolic speech refers to nonverbal and nonwritten communication, this includes gestures, body language, facial expressions, demonstrations and even clothes that express an idea not represent in words but in symbolic communication. Thus, if you communicate through facial expression or body language you are using symbolic speech.

Symbolic speech is the correct option because this is the nonverbal gestures and actions that are meant to communicate a message.
