Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Matches organizational barriers with state of mind (incorrect - organizational barriers relate to structural/procedural issues, not mental states).
Option 2 -> Correctly matches: Semantic with encoding/decoding issues, Organizational with rigid rules/procedures, Psychological with state of mind, and Personal with unwillingness to communicate.
Option 3 -> Incorrectly pairs psychological barriers with unwillingness to communicate and personal barriers with rigid rules (reversed relationship).
Option 4 -> Completely mismatches all barriers - puts semantic barriers with rigid rules which is fundamentally incorrect.
Hence, Option 2: (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV) -> Semantic barriers involve problems in encoding/decoding words and meanings; Organizational barriers stem from rigid structural rules and procedures; Psychological barriers relate to the mental state of communicators; Personal barriers include individual unwillingness to communicate -> correct
