At what distance does public distance typically start, often used for formal interactions like giving a speech?

  1. Less than 4 feet

  2. Between 4 to 18 inches

  3. More than 12 feet

  4. 12 feet or more

The correct answer is: 12 feet or more

Public distance is often used for formal interactions like giving a speech because it allows for a sense of formality and authority. This distance typically starts at 12 feet or more, providing enough physical space between the speaker and the audience. Option A is incorrect because 4 feet is considered personal distance and is more appropriate for close friends and family. Option B is also incorrect because 4-18 inches falls within the intimate distance, which is used for close and personal interactions. Option C is incorrect because 12 feet falls within the boundary of public distance, but it is not specifying the minimum distance needed for formal interactions. Therefore, the most accurate answer is D.
