This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
The idea that it is often necessary to negotiate a shared meaning in order for satisfying communication to occur relates to which characteristic of the communication model?
a) Sending and receiving are usually simultaneous
b) meanings exist in and among people

The messages themselves, be them verbal or nonverbal, do not have an inherent meaning. Therefore, for communication to occur satisfactorily, meaning needs to be successfully conveyed and understood.
