• B. Receiver
• C. Channel

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In the communication process, the {channel is the medium or pathway through which the message is transmitted from the sender to the receiver. Examples include verbal communication (e.g., face-to-face conversation, phone calls), written communication (e.g., emails, letters), or electronic media (e.g., social media, radio).
- Sender (1) initiates and encodes the message.
- Receiver (2) decodes and interprets the message.
- Feedback (4) is the response from the receiver to the sender, completing the communication loop.
Only the channel physically or electronically carries the message, making option (3) correct.
