B
The type of expression displayed on one's face is generally recognizable across cultures.

Explanation

Research on facial expressions finds that basic emotional expressions, such as happiness, sadness, and anger, are generally recognizable across cultures. People may be somewhat more accurate when judging expressions from their own culture, but expressions are not limited to one culture. Therefore, the true statement is that the type of expression displayed on one’s face is generally recognizable across cultures.
