Arrange the following steps of the communication process in the correct sequence:

(A) Receiver

(B) Decoding

(C) Encoding

(D) Message

Choose the correct answer from the options given below

Option 1 -> (B), (C), (D), (A) = Decoding, Encoding, Message, Receiver - This sequence is incorrect as decoding cannot occur before encoding and message transmission.

Option 2 -> (A), (C), (D), (B) = Receiver, Encoding, Message, Decoding - This sequence is incorrect as the receiver cannot come before the message is encoded and transmitted.

Option 3 -> (D), (C), (B), (A) = Message, Encoding, Decoding, Receiver - While unconventional in listing, this represents the flow where message concept leads to encoding by sender, then decoding, and finally reaches the receiver.

Option 4 -> (A), (B), (C), (D) = Receiver, Decoding, Encoding, Message - This sequence is incorrect as it reverses the logical flow of communication.

Hence, Option 3: (D), (C), (B), (A) -> The communication process follows: the Message is conceptualized, then Encoding is done by the sender to convert thoughts into transmittable form, followed by Decoding when the message is interpreted, and finally the Receiver completes the process by understanding the decoded message -> correct
