List-I List-II Elements of Communication Nature --- --- (A) Media (I) The path through which the encoded message is transmitted to the receiver. (B) Decoding (II) All those actions of the receiver indicating that he has received and understood the message from the sender. (C) Feedback (III) The process of converting encoded symbols of the sender. (D) Noise (IV) Hindrance to communication.

Match List-I with List-II

| Elements of Communication | Nature |
| --- | --- |
| (A) Media | (I) The path through which the encoded message is transmitted to the receiver. |
| (B) Decoding | (II) All those actions of the receiver indicating that he has received and understood the message from the sender. |
| (C) Feedback | (III) The process of converting encoded symbols of the sender. |
| (D) Noise | (IV) Hindrance to communication. |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches Decoding with (II) which describes Feedback, and Feedback with (III) which describes Decoding. The definitions are reversed.
Option 2 -> Correctly matches all elements: Media as the transmission path (I), Decoding as the process of converting encoded symbols (III), Feedback as receiver's response actions (II), and Noise as hindrance to communication (IV).
Option 3 -> Incorrectly matches Feedback with (IV) which describes Noise, and Noise with (III) which describes Decoding. These are wrong associations.
Option 4 -> Completely incorrect matching. Media is wrongly matched with decoding definition (III), and all other elements are misaligned with their actual meanings.
Hence, Option 2: (A) - (I), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (IV) -> Media is the channel/path for message transmission, Decoding is converting encoded symbols into meaning, Feedback is the receiver's response indicating understanding, and Noise represents barriers to communication -> correct
