Lincoln · Answer 1

They are in the social space or social distance zone.

Explanation:

Personal space refers to an individual's personal area, which can make one feel uncomfortable if another individual, for example, crosses it.

There are 4 zones of personal space:

Intimate (0-2ft) Personal (2-4ft) Social (4-12ft) Public (>12ft)

The social space zone refers to the area for interaction with acquaintances, with individuals that are not so close to oneself.

In this case, Felix and Farrah are in this zone because they are co-workers, not very close and there is a big gap between the two while they talk.
