Which distance zone is classified as Social in the given model?

• A. Public
• B. Personal
• C. Intimate
• D. Social

Answer: (D)

Proxemics studies how people use space when they communicate. The Social distance is the range used for ordinary, impersonal interactions, roughly four to twelve feet apart. In this zone, you can talk with colleagues or acquaintances without invading private space, maintaining a comfortable professional boundary. Public distance is for addressing larger groups, typically beyond twelve feet. Personal distance covers interactions with close friends and family, about eighteen inches to four feet, and Intimate distance is up to about eighteen inches for close relationships or physical closeness. Therefore, the distance zone classified as Social in the model is the four-to-twelve-foot range used for everyday conversations.
