Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Difficulty in maintaining eye contact is a common nonverbal indicator of lying as the person may feel guilty or uncomfortable about their lie and avoid looking directly at the person they are speaking to. A symmetrical smile and maintaining eye contact without staring are not necessarily indicators of lying, and facial expressions can vary in duration depending on the emotion being expressed.
