C Correct answer
Explanation

A palm-down handshake shows dominance because it positions your hand above the other person's hand, which is a subtle way of establishing control in the interaction. A firm handshake is generally confident, timid shows insecurity, and the duration (short vs long) doesn't directly convey dominance the way palm orientation does.
