Controlled behavior includes which practice?

• A. Demonstrating confidence and control
• B. Avoid distracting behaviors like foot tapping, nail biting, and fidgeting
• C. Yelling to gain compliance
• D. Constantly changing stance

Answer: (B)

Controlled behavior means keeping actions calm, steady, and non-distracting to support safety and clear communication. The best choice describes a concrete practice you can adopt: avoiding behaviors that draw attention away from the task, such as foot tapping, nail biting, and fidgeting. Keeping still and composed reduces the chance of miscommunication, defuses tension, and helps others focus on instructions. Yelling to gain compliance escalates conflict and undermines safety. A constantly changing stance signals uncertainty and makes the environment feel unstable. Demonstrating confidence and control is related, but the focus here is on observable, distracting habits that you should avoid to maintain true control.
