Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is c. If the person acts in a way we predict.

Explanation:

Uncertainty Reduction Theory is also called as initial interaction theory. It is a one kind of a communication theory that takes into account the initial interaction between two people before the actual communication. The theory suggests that people should acquire information about the other person before developing any uncertainty about them.

When acquiring such information, people are able to predict the behavior and resulting actions of others, which in theory's perspective is difficult in forming any kind of a relationship.
