Which of the following is not a barrier to communication?

Physiological Barriers

The correct answer is Option (2) → Physiological Barriers

However, physiological barriers (like speech or hearing problems) are not considered a managerial barrier in the context of business communication.

The main barriers to communication are semantic, psychological, and organisational barriers.

• Semantic barriers arise from misunderstanding of words or symbols.

• Psychological barriers are caused by emotions, attitudes, or mistrust.

• Organisational barriers result from complex hierarchy or lack of clarity in authority.
