D
A gesture may include other forms of nonverbal communication, while a facial expression stands alone as communication.

Explanation

A gesture is a movement used to communicate and can involve many parts of the body, such as a hand wave or a nod. A facial expression communicates through changes in the face, such as smiling or frowning, so it involves only the face. Therefore, the main difference is the body parts involved.
