Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The psychologist's decades of research with Paul Ekman specifically on emotions suggests that the most appropriate title would focus on their work on nonverbal communication and the ways in which facial expressions communicate emotions. Therefore, "How Facial Expressions Communicate Emotions" is the best choice. The other three options suggest a negative or limited view of emotions, which is not consistent with Ekman's research on emotions as universal and adaptive phenomena.
