C) interpretation of messages sent via any media. D) a process involving only the sender, message, and receiver. E) the combined activities of speaking and listening.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Communication is just the act of transferring information from one person to another through speaking, writing, drawing, or some other medium. It involves at least one sender, a message and a receiver.

• Option A is not correct because communication implies transferring information by any medium, not only speaking or writing.

• Option D is not correct because as a process, communication not only depends on a sender, a message and a receiver. It can have more elements involved in the process.

• Option C is also incorrect because the interpretation of the message is just one step of the communication process, not the only one.

• The combined activities of speaking and listening, as stated in Option E, is more related to the word 'conversation.'

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
