Hi Maggie78 

The answer for this question would be A) True or the first option because how can you be listening to the speaker talking while you're going against everything he or she is saying through your own head, yes its true you can be HEARING the speaker, but you really aren't LISTENING to the speaker, so yes its a poor listening behavior.
