Explanation:

Effective nonverbal communication in a speech supports and clarifies the verbal message, without being distracting. Constant pacing (A) or constant hand movements (C) are distracting and not effective. Avoiding eye contact with the audience by focusing on notes (D) disconnects the speaker from listeners. Pointing to relevant visual evidence (B) is purposeful, helps guide the audience's attention to the supporting material, and reinforces the speech's content.
