Answer: Territory

Explanation: Refers to an aspect of non-verbal communication where people employ the use of space or area to demonstrate occupancy or ownership.

In the scenario above, Adriana believes that because she is used to sitting next to the window, they seat or space is hers and believes Andrew has no right to unseat her in that particular space. Adriana is demonstrating the concept of territoriality.
