Which statement best represents the meaning of communication?

• A. the message that is transmitted
• B. a group of people living in the same area or region
• C. the act of transmitting information from one person to another
• D. an informal discussion

Answer: (C)

Communication is the process of exchanging information between people. The statement that describes the act of transmitting information from one person to another best represents that process because it centers on sending and sharing information, which requires a sender and a receiver and often involves encoding, channel, and decoding. The other options refer to the content of a message, a group of people, or a casual form of interaction, none of which capture the full idea of exchanging information as a process.
