(A), (B), (C) and (D)

(B), (C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (B), (C) and (D)

  • (A) Status: This is an Organizational/Personal Barrier. The difference in status (e.g., manager vs. subordinate) can create a psychological distance that restricts the free flow of information, as subordinates may be hesitant to speak freely.

  • (B) Technical jargon: This is a Semantic/Language Barrier. The use of specialized language, which is not understood by the receiver, leads to misinterpretation or lack of comprehension.

  • (C) Faulty translation: This is a Semantic/Language Barrier. Errors in converting a message from one language to another completely change or distort the intended meaning.

  • (D) Distrust: This is a Psychological/Emotional Barrier. Lack of mutual trust between the sender and receiver causes the message to be viewed with skepticism, leading to misinterpretation, filtering, or inattention.
