Answer

holding up a hand to indicate you do not wish to be interrupted or to stop communication
B
clapping after a performance, yelling/cheering during a sporting event
C

gesturing towards the door while saying, “Let’s go”

Explanation

Repeating verbal communication means using a nonverbal cue to reinforce or repeat the spoken message. In choice D, gesturing toward the door while saying “Let’s go” repeats the spoken invitation with a matching gesture. The other choices either replace speech, show a reaction, or provide a nonverbal message without repeating the same spoken message.
