Question

Which of the following are the elements involved in the Communication Process?
(A). Sender
(B). Message
(C). Feedback
(D). Budget

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B) and (C) only
• B. (A) and (C) only
• C. (C) and (D) only
• D. (A), (B), (C) and (D).

Hint:

Core communication elements: Sender $\to$ Message $\to$ Channel $\to$ Receiver $\to$ Feedback. Budget is a planning tool, not a process component.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The communication process involves a series of core elements that facilitate the transfer of information. These include:
- Sender (A): The originator who encodes and transmits the message.
- Message (B): The information or content being communicated.
- Channel: The medium through which the message is sent (e.g., verbal, written, digital), implied but not listed in the options.
- Receiver: The intended recipient who decodes the message, also implied but not listed.
- Feedback (C): The response from the receiver, indicating whether the message was understood or requires clarification.
Budget (D) is not a core element of the communication process, though it may be relevant for planning or executing communication strategies. Thus, the correct elements from the options are (A), (B), and (C), making option (1) correct.
