Arrange the following stages of the communication process. (A) The message that is intended to be communicated is converted into words. (B) A person wants to send a message to his friend. (C) The words that are to be conveyed in the message are converted into symbols. (D) The message is sent as SMS Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> (B), (A), (C), (D) - Follows the logical sequence: intention → encoding into words → encoding into symbols → transmission. Option 2 -> (A), (B), (C), (D) - Incorrect sequence as encoding words cannot happen before the intention to communicate is formed. Option 3 -> (B), (A), (D), (C) - Incorrect as the message cannot be sent (D) before converting words into symbols (C). Option 4 -> (C), (B), (D), (A) - Completely illogical sequence starting with symbol conversion before intention. Hence, Option 1: (B), (A), (C), (D) -> This follows the proper communication process: First, the sender has the intention to communicate (B), then converts the thought into words/encoding (A), then converts those words into transmittable symbols like text characters (C), and finally transmits the message as SMS (D). This represents the complete flow from ideation → encoding → symbolization → transmission. -> correct
