What will be the correct order for the process by which a person can share a message with the receiver?

(A) The source of communication who conveys his/her thoughts.

(B) Encoding of message.

(C) The channel through which the messages are transmitted to the receiver.

(D) Ideas, feelings and suggestions to be communicated.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> (A), (D), (B), (C) - Source first has ideas, then encodes them, then transmits through channel - this follows the logical communication sequence.

Option 2 -> (A), (C), (B), (D) - Channel before encoding and ideas at the end doesn't make logical sense in communication process.

Option 3 -> (B), (D), (C), (A) - Encoding before having a source or ideas is illogical in the communication flow.

Option 4 -> (C), (B), (D), (A) - Channel first and source at the end completely reverses the communication process.


Hence, Option 1: (A), (D), (B), (C) -> The correct communication process flows as: First, the source/sender (A) initiates communication, then they have ideas, feelings, and suggestions (D) that need to be shared, these are then converted through encoding (B) into understandable symbols/words/gestures, and finally transmitted through a communication channel (C) to reach the receiver. This represents the standard Shannon-Weaver communication model sequence. -> correct
