Answer:

Option a) putting an arm around a coworker’s shoulder is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Appropriate and commonly accepted forms of non-verbal communication at the workplace may include a firm handshake with colleagues.

It is considered polite to look at the speaker with a smile while having a conversation.

Standing with an upright posture and not slouching is other good behavior.
