Explanation:

To understand others, active listening and seeking clarity are key. "Waiting for your turn to speak" implies not truly listening (just waiting to talk), "checking your phone" is a distraction, "going silent" doesn't help in understanding. "Asking questions when not sure" helps clarify meaning and shows engagement to better grasp others' perspectives. Wait, no—wait, re - evaluate: Wait, the first option "Waiting for your turn to speak" is not active listening. Wait, no, let's correct. The correct approach for understanding others is to engage in active listening. "Asking questions when you are not sure" helps clarify what the other person means, so that's the correct one. Wait, but the initial thought was wrong. Let's re - analyze each option:

• "Waiting for your turn to speak": This is more about preparing to talk rather than understanding the other, as you're focused on your own turn, not the message.
• "Checking your phone while listening": Distraction, so you can't understand well.
• "Going silent when you disagree": Avoiding communication, so no help in understanding.
• "Asking questions when you are not sure": This helps clarify the speaker's meaning, so you can better understand their perspective. Wait, but the original marked option was wrong. Wait, the question is which can help. So the correct answer is the last option: "Asking questions when you are not sure". Wait, but the user's interface shows the first option selected, but that's incorrect. So the correct answer is the option "Asking questions when you are not sure".

Answer:

D. Asking questions when you are not sure (assuming the options are labeled A - D as A. Waiting for your turn to speak, B. Checking your phone while listening, C. Going silent when you disagree, D. Asking questions when you are not sure)
