Option A:
Kinesics focuses on body movements such as gestures and facial expressions,not spatial separation.

Option B:
Proxemics deals with interpersonal distance and spatial behaviour,so it fits the classroom distance example.

Option C:
Haptics examines communication through touch,like handshakes or pats on the back.

Option D:
Paralanguage relates to vocal features like pitch and volume,not distance.
