Identify the correct sequence of the communication process:
A. Receiver
B. Decoding
C. Media
D. Message
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → D, C, B, A
(D) Message — first of these four. The sender has an idea, feeling or order to pass on; that content is the message. The sender then encodes it into words, signs or pictures.
(C) Media — second. The media is the path the encoded message travels by: a letter, a phone call, an e-mail or a face-to-face talk.
(B) Decoding — third. Decoding turns the encoded symbols back into meaning, so that the message can be understood.
(A) Receiver — fourth. The receiver is the person for whom the message is meant. The elements of the process run in this order: sender, message, encoding, media, decoding, receiver, and then feedback.
