The question is incomplete:
Many years ago, Sprint Telecommunications aired an advertisement intended to demonstrate the clarity of reception Sprint customers could expect. The ad showed a rancher, who had used a different company, complaining that he had ordered 100 oxen from his supplier and instead received 100 dachshunds. The mix-up was probably due to the presence of _____ in the communication process.
A. noise
B. poor encoding
C. poor medium choice
D. improprer network choice
E. process loss
Answer:
A. noise
Explanation:
-Noise refers to something that affects the communication process like a sound.
-Poor encoding refers to not being able to use a medium to communicate.
-Poor medium choice refers to picking the wrong channel to communicate.
-Improprer network choice refers to picking the wrong transmission system to communicate.
-process loss refers to inefficiencies that affect the process.
According to this, the answer is that the mix-up was probably due to the presence of noise in the communication process because the statement indicates that the advertisement was intended to demonstrate the clarity of reception Sprint customers could expect and because of that, you can inferred that on the situation on the ad the probleem was due to noise that interfered with the clarity of the communication and because of that, the rancher received 100 dachshunds instead of 100 oxen.
