Answer: a. not making eye contact

Explanation:

Civil Inattention is a simple way of pretending of not being aware of your surrounding but that doesn't mean you do not care about next person. it involves the minor form of social behavior where an individual will give another person a small brief eye contact. the use of weak smiles or exchanging of head nods.
