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
c) environment and noise affect communication
d) channels make a difference

I think it may be C or B I don’t think it’s D or A.
