The correct answer is B. Diane's speech is well balanced and each section of it is approximately the same length.

Explanation:

Timing in a presentation or speech refers to the way the speaker uses time, this includes the time the speaker spends for every section in the speech; whether the speech takes much less or much more time than it is supposed to and whether the author is able to explain properly the main points during the time provided. This implies effective management of time is when the speaker is able to adjust the speech to the time provided by explaining all the points properly, this usually means each section has approximately the same length and the speaker uses all the time provided but no more than this. Thus, an example of effective timing is Diane's speech, because this is well balanced and each section of it is approximately the same length, which means she is taking advantage of the time by explaining each point properly and using time in a balanced way.
