This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

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
e) none of the above
Answer:
The idea that it is often necessary to negotiate a shared meaning in order for satisfying communication to occur relates to:

The messages themselves, be them verbal or nonverbal, do not have an inherent meaning. Therefore, for communication to occur satisfactorily, meaning needs to be successfully conveyed and understood.
