Which statement BEST defines communication?

• A. Receiving signals from other people that convey feelings
• B. Sending information to and receiving information from others
• C. Using words to relay information verbally or in writing
• D. Sending signals to other people to convey feelings

Answer: (B)

Communication is a two-way process of exchanging information between people. It includes both sending messages and receiving feedback, which helps ensure understanding and coordination. The statement that best defines communication captures this full exchange—information goes from one person to another and back again through various forms, not just words or just signals. It recognizes that communication is not limited to feelings, or to one-way sending, or to verbal or written language alone. The other options are narrower: receiving signals emphasizes only listening; sending signals to convey feelings focuses on one-way effort; using words limits the idea to verbal or written language and misses nonverbal cues and feedback.
