Answer 1

Answer:

a. encoding

Explanation:

Communication involves a party encoding a message, transmitting a message, another party receiving the message and decoding the message.

Encoding means packaging the message in such a way that the receiver is able to decode it and similarly send a message back to the sender.

Here, Fred has composed his message but is thinking of how to package it in a form that will be reciprocated in a positive way from his significant other.

Hence, the question here refers to encoding.
